Definitely not too late. :)
People in their 40s wear braces for some time and I have heard everyone saying it is really worth it.
If you feel uncomfortable about metal braces, you can choose plastic ones that are almost invisible. There are so many materials available that you will definitely find a suitable option. Some people even consider braces as jewelery...
Thinking about the future, wearing braces might last for some years depending on how much needs to be done. Also, you might not be allowed to eat taffy and some other candies that might stick to braces. Though I think that is a tiny problem in comparison to advantages...
If you get braces now, the probability of getting head aches, hurting neck etc. decreases and naturally, you will also get a great smile soon.
Good luck!

I don't believe so, but I'm not a dentist or anything. I went though my braces stage when I was younger. But you might do well to look into the clear braces so that you don't get harrassed or teased. They might be still more expensive then the traditional ones, but it's up to you. Also, I've seen 40 year olds have braces so I think you're good to go for tit. Just go get checked out to see if you can. Answers isn't gonna help you as much as professionals can.

no...many people have braces...even people older than you...but it sucks...cuz when someone thinks of braces...they usually think of teenagers and little people...and so you would be in your early 20s getting braces...it may shock people at first...but they will get over it sooner or later....but you have to be prepared for the pain that is associated with it...i have braces now and im only 15...ive had them for like 2-3 years...it hurts some times...but if your all good with that...then i say go ahead

I have seen 30 year-olds wearing braces and just think, Tom Cruise was wearing braces at 40.

My aunt didn't get braces until she was in her 20's. They worked just fine.
