Adults with Braces

[mdnytestar]

I'm soon to be 23 and plan on getting braces to straighten my teeth. I think the pain will be worth it.

i have an overbite and needed braces, but my parents couldn't afford it.

now, my daughter needed braces (badly...her teeth were growing in on top of each other!) so i still can't afford it because i'm paying for hers!
luckily we have pretty good insurance that covered most of it.

my overbite isn't too bad though, so i can live with it.

When I had my braces in High School, there was a Lady who was in her 40's and wearing braces.

I guess I'm one of the lucky ones.... never needed 'em! mrgreen

I had braces for 2 years back in high school. I hated having them adjusted. In addition to that, I had to have 4 wisdom teeth removed when I was 20.

I hope I don't need them someday. I have a habit of grinding my teeth and biting down really hard when I'm really tired.

I have the same problem. When tired and stressed I bite my teeth so hard that it gives headaches. I notice it only when I try to sleep after such a day. xp
I try to break this habit.
