Both, please!
But I had braces as a little kid and never again after that and don't need them. So the "braces for me" is a pure fantasy, and I've never really tried to analyze if this is something I really, truly want for myself or if it is just a burning curiosity to experience what its like. IF I ever do, it will be by taking advantage of the braces shop here (wow! and its legit, too! I was so shocked, some of those pieces look amazing and they all look so real!) and that still won't be the same thing because I will be in control of what I wear and when. There will be no element of "do this or else" or "endure this unpleasant thing for your own good" to it. And of course it won't hurt, and I will be able to eat what I want, and... not really the same thing as actually going through treatment. No ortho's office experience... you get what I mean.
Love braces on others. I'm in my 30s and I don't see many people my age with braces. It's not totally unheard of, but its pretty rare. Actually, its more common to see people a decade or two older than I am with braces, because they're more established in life and have disposable income to finally get their teeth straightened (or fulfill a fantasy, who knows!). I really like reading and looking at blogs and pictures of people who document their jaw surgeries, because as an adult, that is usually the longest and most complex treatment someone would go through. Serious bite issues can't really be fixed without surgery as adults, so most braces treatments are more cosmetic and are quick and simple. No headgears, no expanders or active appliances... I guess there are rare instances, but I never get to see them
I see more adult women wearing braces than men, by far. I'm a woman and I prefer men, so that is a bummer for me. I guess women are more vain, and maybe even more disciplined? I don't know. My husband wore braces when I met him and that's basically why I was interested in him at first. So I can say with certainty that YES, I DEFINITELY am into braces on others! That one is not just a fantasy!
