Where are the adults with braces? Questions:
I'm 34, have some crowding on my lower teeth and a very slight overbite (although unnoticeable to me). An ortho consult in my early 20s determined I'd need molars removed and estimated 12-18 months of traditional braces. We never discussed clear aligners.
I'll be paying out of pocket, so I'm trying to decide the most affordable route. I've read that traditional metal braces tend to be quicker and cheaper, and I'm not opposed to them, but I do like the idea of clear aligners as it seems much easier with less appointments.
I'm looking for opinions from anyone who had braces as an adult, which method you chose and why, and if you went with aligners, which brand did you use? I just want to have an idea of what to ask my Orthodontist for.
