Braces are also help fix receding gums. Your teeth moving inward or outward can cause gum problems

I had to get them a second time in my early 40s because my dentist and ortho said my first set only straightened my teeth but didn't correct my bite issue, which was possibly causing gum recession.

Why don’t you focus on yourself?

Invisalign works great. Painful at first, but great results within a year or so.

Braces are the best cosmetic dental investment one could do. They’re expensive but the payoff will be worth it.

Just spitballing here, but it might have something to do with them wanting to improve their teeth.

Braces make the dentures look like real teeth.

Last week the dentist told me I should consider getting them or invisiline. They aren't crooked but I have a gap and apparently the way they line up is causing weird wear on some of the enamel.

I’ve thought about it at 47. Grew up not having much. Was rich on family and love but monetarily didn’t have much. Now that I have some coin I have thought about it. Parents did the best they could but they never could afford it for me as a young lad.
TLDR: economics.

My cheap uncle would not pay to get his kid's teeth straightened. As soon as they left home and had some income they got braces on their own. He took the rebuke pretty hard.

I had them in my late 40s because I worked for an ortho company. Saved me 5k at least.

crooked teeth and gaping
I think that requires a gynecologist or plastic surgeon

Braces are more effective than invisilign or other similar products.

In my late 50s I got braces on my lower teeth. My teeth were crowded and one of them had turned sideways so we pulled it and put braces on the other teeth to pull them together and get them straight. I wore braces for about four years. I should still be wearing my retainer

Better than those poor fitting veneers. Makes adults look like chipmunks.

Middle aged people with braces
Usually a positive indicator imo
Their parents couldn’t afford when they were coming up.
And they’re now well off enough as adults
To fix their own fricked up teeth

Early 60's most dentists would say that boys don't need to look pretty, why get braces?

I've asked folks very rudely I might add "why didn't you just get the invisalign?"
And basically those folks with braces these days teeth are so crooked that the invisalign doesn't even work so they have to get real braces like I did as a teenager
