How problematic would it be for a 37 man to have braces?

DJ_Dialga · 2024-08-12T22:42:20+00:00

I don’t care in the slightest. Many people get braces when they become adults. It’s not a big deal and as long as you take care of them it’s temporary anyway.

Nellylocheadbean · 2024-08-12T23:10:31+00:00

I’m not a fan of braces but he shouldn’t care what women think, his teeth health comes first.

Not everyone can afford braces in their teenage years. It's okay if you get them later in life. It wouldn't be a problem for me.

Your friend is going to have a beautiful smile in a year and that matters! All the best to him.

He can get Invisalign or braces that are put from the other side of the teeth. Realistically it's a downside especially at this age, but he should do it anyway. It's only for a few years.

starksoph · 2024-08-12T22:40:17+00:00

Nobody likes braces regardless of age but your teeth health comes first. I had braces for almost 5 years but now my teeth are perfectly straight. It is worth it and only temporary.

learn2earn89 · 2024-08-12T22:54:23+00:00

I wouldn’t care. I had them at 25 and know a woman who had them at 35.

egalitarian-flan · 2024-08-12T22:49:18+00:00

It wouldn't be...? If anything it would be a good thing since it's making his teeth better.

Makuta_Servaela · 2024-08-12T23:31:19+00:00

I can't speak for all women, but I personally don't care. Gotta do what you gotta do, and dental health is important.

apresonly · 2024-08-12T22:12:35+00:00

why doesn't he get invisalign?

it will prob affect him when meeting strangers, less so when he gets to know people

idk maybe the same as it would affect a middle aged woman getting braces

serpensmercurialis · 2024-08-12T22:31:38+00:00

If his teeth are causing any kind of disease or bite issues then he probably shouldn’t care how it will affect dating in the short-term. Otherwise, depends on what kind of braces and how visible they are. But if he’s attractive otherwise, then it’s unlikely to be a big issue.

Downtown_Cat_1173 · 2024-08-12T22:55:02+00:00

It wouldn’t bother me at all

Planthoe30 · 2024-08-13T05:47:51+00:00

I wouldn’t find braces attractive. Sorry. You asked so I assume you want honesty.

Sharp_Engineering379 · 2024-08-12T22:47:51+00:00

Not at all. A nice smile is a ticket to everything. He should own it and learn to grin with the biggest, warmest grin now, so he’s ready to hit em with the big guns later.

MiddleZealousideal89 · 2024-08-12T23:32:42+00:00

It will be an issue for rather immature people. Dude should fix his teeth.

If they're the kind I'm thinking of I'd imagine kissing wouldn't be nice. But if he needs them for his health there isn't much he can do. I'm not sure if it's just for straight teeth for cosmetic reasons though, in that case I don't think it's worth it (I know some like Americans can get freaky about teeth straightness so depends where he lives).

MistyMaisel · 2024-08-13T01:25:00+00:00

I personally wouldn't care, but that's probably because I understand the expense of braces because my mother paid for mine as a kid and told me all about it, so I understand it's not easy to afford and respect the call.

SnooMarzipans8221 · 2024-08-13T03:44:27+00:00

Braces are considered a charm-point here in Asia, so I might be biased in thinking that's it's just generally cute.

thelajestic · 2024-08-13T08:49:24+00:00

It wouldn't bother me, and honestly I'd be pleased for him as teeth can have such an impact on confidence, it's nice when people can sort the things that bother them. I'm biased though as I'm in my 30s and about to get braces and I'm very excited about it 🤣

bluepvtstorm · 2024-08-13T08:58:49+00:00

Got my last set at 38 because I didn’t wear retainers. No one cares.

Unhappy_Offer_1822 · 2024-08-13T14:13:25+00:00

i was unaware that braces are problematic

Werevulvi · 2024-08-13T16:37:21+00:00

Nothing wrong with having braces at any age. It's good self-care to fix teeth issues. And his teeth are gonna look fantastic after all that orthodentry is done! Besides, I had braces in my teens because I had too much/big teeth for my tiny mouth, it was an annoying experience but I do have empathy for anyobe going through it.

I wouldn't say braces turn me on, but they also aren't off-putting. It can even be cute on some guys. But mostly I just see it as a neutral thing. Like wearing glasses or a hearing aid, or having scars, for ex. If anything I tend to be more drawn towards men who have something unusual about his appearance, like braces. It makes me curious about his story.

OddWish4 · 2024-08-14T07:38:30+00:00

Get Invisalign!

attendquoi · 2024-08-13T00:17:36+00:00

It'd probably turn me off, but I'd need to see how they looked.

flipsidetroll · 2024-08-13T06:14:28+00:00

It’s nothing but a medical procedure. Wouldn’t bother me. And he’ll feel so much better about himself when it’s done. If a chick is bothered by braces, can you imagine what a shitty partner she would make if her partner got cancer or had some serious issue?

uglysaladisugly · 2024-08-13T12:18:14+00:00

I guess it depends on the braces and the guies face.

If it's the very visible typical "teenagers" braces, I thing it would work okay on a guy who dress and look young.

The more "serious adult" like suit and white collar type of men, the less good it's gonna be.

Now let's not lie, braces are not a very flattering thing. It may be a bit less problematic on some women as we tend to associate "youth" to prettiness for women and braces are associated with teens and children (bit of yuck here). To be completely honest, not having braces will usually be better than having them on most adults (30 and up).

Still, it wouldn't be a deal breaker for me personally, not a lot of physical features would actually be. It may even be a nice quirk, some little particularity that makes him special. But it would depend on a lot of other things.

For your friend, if his teeth are really crooked it may be best anyway even in the dating area. If his teeth are problematic for his health, also.

I was proposed braces because my up teeth touch my bottom teeth in only to points which explained why I always had big digestive problems and I can't chew well. My teeth look well, but I would have still accepted to take them if it was not 15 FUCKING SWISS FRANKS jesus... your friends should definitely profit from having his problem taken charge of.
