Am I too old? Has anyone out there gotten braces later in life. How uncomfortable are they?

If it's for medical reasons (teeth falling out due to misalignment): do it.
Otherwise, why would you? How bad is it? It's painful and the outcome is not certain. Are you single? How's your self esteem?
I got them at 27. It sucked the first couple of months (not cause they hurt, just because it made me feel self-conscious) but you get used to them and the results are definitely worth the slight embarassment you feel in the beginning.
HGH?

Newly single.
I got them when I was 42. One of the best things I ever did for myself.
I had them for two years. The spacers hurt, but I had a lot of crowding. Other than that, the only issue was flossing. And it wasn't that bad.
My advice is do it. You will not regret it.
Ask any sprinter who gets them :-)
I have always wondered if guys with braces can go "down town". Doesnt the hair get in the way?

Clean shaven is the best way to go.
You just admitted Letsrun that you are a drug cheat.
I'd stick with the belts. Or just a good elastic band.
You have to have a lot of braces to match your fashion.
Though there was a sprinter - I think it was Dr Delanor Meriweather who wore braces when he raced.
get invisalign
Get the braces that go behind your teeth.
They will occasionally be sore for a day or two, but other than that not a big deal at all.
I got braces at 40. One of the best decisions I've made.
As previously mentioned, Invisalign. Most issues can be corrected with this method, not all.
It is great, most people won't even know you are wearing them. They are clear, and you wear them at all times except when you eat. They pop in and out very easily.
Did Invisilign at 43. Not a big deal, and no one could tell.
Lagat has braces!
Can you still carpet munch with braces?
Pretty uncomfortable
Newly single? A paper bag is cheaper than braces!
