I am relatively close to getting braces again, with 54 years of age.
We‘re just waiting for an answer from my insurance, to schedule the glueday.
Currently, before they are in, I would love to wear them forever.
I definitely will ask the orthodontist to keep them on, as long as possible.
also for retention.
In my teens I already had to deal with brackets and for some time also with
headgear. The hate in the beginning ended up in some kind of love for all of it
and I also had some „tears in my eyes“ even being happy to get them to off.
Now they should stay forever - al least for as long as possible in any way.
Let’s see, what the experience will make out of this idea over the months.
