(1) no age is too late to get them
(2) they usually cost about $1500 (I have them)
(3) It depends on how bad ur bite is when you get them on... I have to have them for two years... I have one year to go :(

It's never too late to get them. It probably costs about 3 to 4 thousand depending on where you go. You'll be wearing them for about 2 years since it's only a gap. Don't be scared eventhough it might hurt the first week and every time they tighten it up. I've been though all that and you'll probably better off than when I had to get them. I had to get 4 teeth pulled out before I got braces because my mouth was too small... haha. Well best of luck to you and your teeth. You won't regret it!!!

mine took almost 3 years... I got them when I was 19. I don't think any age is too late really. I have a 30 something friend getting them. will probably cost around 5 grand depending on where you live and how much work needs to be done. It is worth it, good luck!

It would take between 3-6 months to center the 4 front teeth and you might need 0-4 white fillings or veneer for the front teeth to be proportional.
The cost: 2000-3000 + white fillings or veneer.

1. It's never too late.
2. It depends if you want them on just your uppers or if you want to get braces on both uppers & lowers. Uppers & Lowers run from $4,000 - $6,000.
3. It depends, but most people wear them from 18 months to 2 years. 3 years in extreme cases. It depends how "stubborn" your teeth are.
Hope this helps and good luck!

we have people come into our office of all ages, even in their late 50s, i think more adults are getting braces these days
the cost depends on if you have insurance, without would probably be around 4000, that is in southern california, if your teeth are pretty straight like the picture, you may only require a retainer to close the gap, otherwise it would depend on your consultation and evaluation of your measurements

2- It will cost around $3-4k.
3- Depends because your problem is not bad.
1- I personally consider braces after high school old, but for a better looking smile, do it now before you turn 23.
Good luck!

It depends on how bad your teeth are. Everyone is different. No 22 is not to old. My daughter's costed $4000 and she has to have her's on for about 3 years. She has a bad underbite.

1. I know 50= people that have them
2. Thousands of dollars, and it really depends on your insurance
