I was braced at 34 and jaw surgery at 36. The best thing I could have ever spent my money and time on!!!!!!! I am finally at the end of the road and will be getting my braces off in a couple weeks.

I'm a 37 yr old female and have hated my teeth since my baby teeth fell out :). After putting it off for years, I took the plunge and was braced a couple months ago. I feel it's the best decision I've ever made! Good luck with your decision!

I wore braces for over 2 yrs as a teenager and never thought I'd have to wear them again...
until I decided to have jaw surgery, then I found I had to wear them again. So I was braced at 46 and had surgery at 48. Now I'm 49 and just got my lower braces off last week. Am I happy I did it...you betcha!

Good luck to you!
