Not old at all, adults get braces too. Pretty much I think any age can wear braces. And you'll perfer to get braces so your teeth won't be horrible as the years go by. And do the girls like 'em? Well, I'm not the person to ask. I'm a teen, but still find boys to be really creepy and icky and hate love stuff, no offense.

I got braces at twenty five years old. I chickened out at 16 years old. They came off when I was 29. The only thing I thought was a newsense was carrying a toothbrush around all the time and brushing my teeth in restrooms. But other than that it was so worth it. I'd do it all over again.

No it isn't too late. Many people get them when they're adults because their parents didn't have dental insurance when they were younger. You are only 20 so most definetely get them, it is worth the money. Plus better now then going through the rest of your life with bad teeth and regretting not getting them later.

No, my dentist was telling me about a 70 year old woman getting them. Thats actually a pretty young age. People of all ages are getting braces now and I have to get them again when im about 18. I say go for it, the sooner the better.

Never, a good smile always makes one feel great and
others too. There are newer types that are almost
invisible. Look into it, you will be glad you did. Take care of
those choppers, as the alternative is a bear. If you have
an over bite or other issues, would be great for your
over all well being etc.

I got braces put on my teeth when I was 28 and am so glad I did. I look back at pictures before and after and see such a difference in my confidence since I had them removed two years later. It has been 12 years since and I am still smiling!

Getting braces after the teen years is quite common. Many people do not get braces in their teens due to finances and/or not needed until and accident or weight gain. Get the braces for aesthetic reasons are just as important as for dental/medical reasons. Go for it!
