Getting braces as a young adult? - eviltoast

Hello lemmies,

Yesterday was a bit of a shocking moment for me as my dentists told me I need to get braces to fix the alignment of some of my teeth. For context; as a young kid (11years)I broke my four front teeth, and had them replaced with fake ones (i believe they are known as veneers in English). They are now slowly falling off, as I have had them for a while (I am now 24). But before they can put on new ones, they want me to straighten out the positioning of the current ones, with braces.

Obviously this is the right choice, but I’ve always hated the thought of getting braces, especially this year as I will soon be starting work life and meeting new people.

Was therefore wondering what experiences people have with braces, especially if you had it as an adult / young adult. Anything I should know for upfront?

    I got some knockoff Invisalign from smile direct club, I wouldn’t recommend them because they’re undergoing a chapter 13 realignment or something but before 1850 bucks they did the job.

    I have a much better smile, I don’t hide half of my teeth when I’m smiling, honestly it was one of the better decisions I’ve made.

    I’m sure there’s some other company out there that can do just as good of a job, but ask your doctor if you’re a good candidate for Invisalign and if you are then go for it.
