Is it beter to get braces as a teen in my twenties?

First you are a teenager. But once you are in your twenties, you never be a teenager any more...

The earlier you have braces, the better and shorter they correct.

Yeah. It may be harder (people might make fun of you in middle school/high school) when you're in your teens...

But if you're 22 and trying to get a job in the corporate world, braces don't help.

It's best to get braces as soon as all of your baby teeth have fallen out. It is easier to move teeth in younger bone than it is in older bone. Depending on your case it could take anywhere from 15 months to 36 months from start to completion. Most teens have their braces off in time for graduating from high school.
