Getting braces as an adult

[Bokanovsky]

Has anyone here gotten braces as an adult? Were you happy with the results? Did you go with traditional braces or Invisalign?

I tried removable ones as a teenager and I didn’t have the discipline to use it.

I had regular ones at late 20’s. It sucked but it was only for a year. It was worth it butI had a single teeth to fix.

Invisalign seems great for an adult. It’s more discreet and you can remove it to eat and/or during a date.

I think Smile Direct has the same product and it costs half. I remember people having a promo code making the treatment ~$800. That was 2-3 years ago though.

If you do any sort of sport where you might get hit in the mouth, you're going to want a protective mouthpiece.

My gf did invisalign recently. she thinks it was very much worth the money. She had braces as a child, and she still needed the correction done again.

Braces will hurt your teeth and your cheeks. Invisalign just hurts your teeth. Either way you will have to wear a retainer for the rest of your life to keep them straight in the long run.

Braces are so much different and better than they were when I had mine over 30 years ago that you can get ones that arent even noticeable and I believe ones that go on the back of your teeth.
