I had many consultations over the years, and finally at 41 decided to bite the bullet and get braces. I wanted to turn on tooth at the top that was slightly misaligned, therefore I got them for the top only and a retainer at the botton. Procedure was fairly easy, no pain, just slight discomfort in chewing my food for about two weeks.

Wanted to add, that the after pic was only one month into my treatment so I am very impressed by the results.

Great review?

Looks like they are working for you. You are never too old!

You will be so happy you did this. I too live in Duluth and got braces at 23 and had terribly crooked teeth with an underbite and cross bite. Amazingly, it took only 16 short months and my teeth were perfect and my confidence skyrocketed :)

Good for you for going for it!! I can definitely see the differences in your alignment already. How exciting!! One thing to keep in mind is the big exciting changes happen in the first portion of treatment, then the orthodontist will still have some time left to tweak your bite, so even after things look great to you try to be patient as they finish things up. :)

Looking forward to hearing how you are doing as your teeth keep straightening!!
