I don't have the best teeth in the world, and it makes me so insecure that I hardly smile.

Is 24 too old to get braces? Should I invest in vaneers instead?

24 is not too old. People get them all the time when they are older. There are many options too. It depends what's wrong with your teeth exactly? Do you have a gap between teeth, are they yellow, or are they just crooked. My bottom teeth were crooked and I wore a custom made mouth guard thingy every night and in a few weeks-months they came out a bit better.

Anything you can do to improve yourself, your looks, confidence is worth it. I had braces when I was 10...didn't want them but my parents insisted I get them. I am so glad that they did.

Not at all. You can get clear braces now anyway.
Whatever you do, go to a proper dentist and get an opinion first before looking at Wowcher style things.

You want the safest option, not a quick fix

well from what I look at when I was thinking in using it, as long you still have teeths you can wear a brace, only diference is take a little more time, have several types and prices too.

I gave up on taht idea because I had jsut a little fix on one tooth and the destist said it would take something like over 2 years, and I was doing fighting classes back then so I didn't bother, but serious go to a dentist and check with him
 

Don't always be the one putting yourself out for her. Don't always be the one putting all the effort and work into the relationship. Let her, and expect her, to treat you as well as you treat her, and to improve the quality of your life.

Use it ! And don´t go for esthetic braces, that make you look weird. I used them, to only regret it later, not finishing the treatment. Still my teeth were straight so I had good results.

Many women love a good smile, it´s an investment you are doing in your future. It´s a big mistake to avoid braces because of the couple of years of work.

Is 24 too old for wearing diapers?

You afraid that people will make fun of you?

Why not get clear braces, I saw commercials for that back in 2010.

Who you want get the braces for, yourself, or someone else?

Why give a damn about what others will say?

If people will make fun of you, tell them you're mentally retarded and see their reaction.

I think braces are pimp!

You will look goofy for like a year, and then you will never be self conscious about your teeth again. Do it, you wont regret it.

Also if you can afford it, instead of the regular braces you can get invisalign, which is a clear plastic removable piece that fits over your teeth. It may make you talk a little weird while wearing it, but it's not as visible as standard metal braces
 

What happens, IN HER MIND, is that she comes to see you as WORTHLESS simply because she hasn't had to INVEST anything in you in order to get you or to keep you.

You were an interesting diversion while she had nothing else to do. But now that someone a little more valuable has come along, someone who expects her to treat him very well, she'll have no problem at all dropping you or demoting you to lowly "friendship" status.

I second this--try invisalign if you're really that self-conscious about having traditional braces mounted to your teeth. It's a bit more expensive so keep that in mind.

I'm almost 44 and just last night a girl told me I had nice, straight teeth. Teeth are one of the things a girl needs to see before she truly likes you.

So no, it's not too late.
