   I got braces in 5th grade. Just depends on how many permanent teeth you have lost and how bad situation is. Mine was pretty bad. Even had a bar on the roof of my mouth to stretch the palate.

   Got my braces at age 10.

   Interesting that Peter said he MIGHT have to get braces. If he’s going to see an orthodontist, that means he IS getting them. No orthodontist is going to say, “nah, he doesn’t need them”.

   I needed braces and my parents would not pay for them either my sister or me.Company medical or dental insurance then would not cover braces. Now on me when I got a full time job I waited until probation over with then I decided to get orthodontist work done and I paid for it myself in my early 20. Just before I got married I finished treatment and what I owed. My sister never did go.
   The orthodontic treatment also required the bar to push roof of my mouth very painful and pinched/broke a bloodvessel I bled.

   I was fortunate not to need braces, my younger brother did though.

    Yes, they will. They go to check out the situation.

    I guess I said that based on my personal experience.
    I had braces for a total of 10 years. I had an overbite, but really not that bad. My orthodontist was a crook who milked us, first my father, then me later when I took over the payments. He never gave us an end date. He just kept me coming back, and since I didn’t know any better, I kept making the appointments. Finally at age 20, I went in and said, “I’m done, take them out”, which he did. He could have done that years earlier.

    orthodontists always try and make your mouth ‘better’…….which i find extremely dumb. my motto is ’don’t fix what ain’t broke’

    My parents didn’t take me to the dentist. My father pulled a loose tooth with pliers. I’m not making that up. I’ve been paying for that kind of stuff for the last 40 years. My teeth were a mess.
