Is 14 too late to get braces, or just the right time?

Best Answers

Personally I don't think it is ever too late to get braces. Ultimately it depends on how long you (or someone) will have them for, of you get them before 14 then the braces most likely won't be there when you enter high school. read more

Not too late. Not too early. Not just the right time necessarily either. There is an advantage to getting them while young as you are still growing but you can get good orthodontic results at any age. I got them at 30. Took 2 years. No big whoop. You are overthinking things. Just chill and get them. Or don’t. read more

Since you are just 14, your lower jaw (mandible) is still capable of growth. If you leave it the way it is, chances are that you will develop a protruding chin. Your chewing and biting action/forces will be compromised. I would suggest going for the treatment right away before it worsens. read more
