My old roomie got his braces at the age of 33.

His old man paid for them though.

I doubte that

I've noticed that most people have perfect teeth

Thats what I was looking for. I remember when I was in my teens I went to an orthodontist and he said if I got braces then I would have only needed them on for the most 3 months. Now my teeth are even closer from the wisdom teeth pushing them in so I wouldn't need them on for long.

OOH! I mentioned this WAY up higher!

I had braces twice. The first time I got them on in 5th grade. They didn't come off until 11th. That really sucked. I think my Ortho was a quack. I never wore my retainer and my bottom teeth never looked perfect so....put them on again at 19 or 20, can't remember. I only had them about a year.

Before my wedding I went to my dentist to get my teeth bleached. It was $400.

Recently I bought another whitening gel that the dentists use from:

It was really cheap because I already had the trays made up. I'm gonna start using them again soon. I'll keep you all posted.

I might get braces in a few years if I feel like it.

Asked my dentist about the teeth whitening. $450 I don`t know how different it is than the otc ones. I think they do it in one or two visits though. NOT cover by insurance.

When you whiten the teeth with this stuff, do your teeth become more sensitive? (stupid question)lol Mine are very sensitive and are really painfull at times.

GL,

It's totally different then the OTC stuff. It's much stronger. It does make your teeth sensitive. But it only lasts for a day or so. I got the stuff that you where all night. I was awakened with pain a couple of times, from my teeth! Ouch!

$450 sounds like they make the trays and give you the gel. You do it on your own.

there is a laser treatment that only takes 1 treatment, that's like 1k, though.

I had braces. My bottoms came out OK but my tops didn't. I think I'll get the tops done. After I put a new roof on my house, get a motorcycle, and get a car.

You might want to try Invisalign...but it's pricey:

That's exactly what I suggested! I've had friends try these, Flex, and they all had great results!

Screw ALL these ideas........dude just gargle and rinse with bleach. It'll work much faster than any of these other money-making schemes.
