[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents didn't/couldn't get me braces as a kid.

I paid in  cash as an adult for braces with one of the priciest orthodontists in downtown.  [/quote]

Did they work? I thought late in life, teeth are prone to sliding after. Which is why veneers are so popular.[/quote]

Yep, they worked great. [/quote]

How long did you wear braces? Did you have to wear a long while retainer after? They didn’t slide back at all?[/quote]

Not pp, but I had braces as an adult.  I don't remember now exactly how long it took, but maybe a year and a half?  I wear a retainer at night (essentially just a night guard) about every other night, and my teeth still look perfect twenty years later.  The idea about adult teeth "sliding" may be a result of the fact that most adults' teeth move, anyway.  I didn't have braces as a kid because my teeth were perfectly straight. They didn't start becoming crooked until I was in my 20's, hence the braces later in life. [/quote]
