I can't reply to the post below. YES, they will see crooked teeth at a cleaning. and so?? what are they supposed to do about it?? if the person doesn't want or can't afford braces at the time, then there is nothing to do. but it doesn't mean they didn't go to the dentist! [ Reply | More

np: get another opinion on that, question why exactly it matters that your bite isn't perfect. I had braces to correct my bite and all they did was squish all my teeth really close together, can barly get dental floss in there, and now my front teeth are starting to get crooked from being crowded.

NP: I had braces when i was in my mid thirties. Never even had any idea anyone had any thoughts on that but hey, who cares, now I'm 42 and my teeth look great. Croooked teeth, at least on me, were very ageing and were getting worse. I had the big metal tracks and a husband who is very secure. But again, now i love to smile, my teeth look great and I'm so happy I did it. Go for it if you can. Your teeth will look great from now on and you know what, a nice smile is something that never gets old to look at. [ Reply | More

I just got mine off in Feb (coincidentally the day before my dd was born!). Pregnant with braces, it would have been hard to pick up a guy, but luckily I had no need to. I had the metal braces, and you get used to it. I'm in my early 30's... [ Reply | More
