Can you tell me docs, is having braces on at 20 years old bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, it's good: 1/3 of all orthodontic patients today are adults. Any treatment that improves your health, no matter the age, is prudent. Please see a qualified orthodontic specialist for examination and evaluation. You'll be glad you did.
