I need some advice / opinions please. I am finally in a financial position where I can afford to spend some money on my teeth (shown in my profile pic). I've wanted to get them fixed for a long time but in my late 30s, I'm really not sure if it worth the bother at this point.

Asking everyone: Are my teeth bad enough for it to be worth spending the money? If you met me in person, would you judge?

Adult braces wearers / past wearers: From your experience, what would you do in my position? Is it worth it?

Any response appreciated - and be honest!!

Thanks
 
I wouldn’t necessarily judge you, but they definitely do need to get done. If you want to get them, go for it, but if you don’t, then don’t. You probably should, but ultimately it’s your choice. I wore them a couple years back, in my early 30s, and really they’re not that big of a deal. People don’t stare at them or anything, and most don’t comment. If they do, it’s all supportive things.
 
I wouldn't judge you by how things are now. However, it looks like you could benefit form treatment and if it is something you want to do, then do it. We only have one go at life, so make it what you want to make it.

As to what people would think if you got braces, I don't think it is a big deal. All of us here are here for a reason-our unique perspective on orthodontics-so we tend to focus on things that others would ignore.
 
Necessary or not, you should ask an orthodontist. Your smile would definitely benefit from it.
I am currently wearing brackets in my mid 50ies. Most people don’t care about my shine metal. The few comments I got were all positive.
I love my special smile and hope I can keep the brackets on for for a while.
So, jump into the adventure ????
 
I think it would be worth doing. I did in my 50s and have no regrets. I had clear brackets which made it more discreet ( but by no means invisible). That helped my confidence both socially and in my professional career.
