Has anyone here gotten braces as an adult? Were you happy with the results? Did you go with traditional braces or Invisalign?
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
Getting braces as an adult

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

I tried removable ones as a teenager and I didn’t have the discipline to use it.
I had regular ones at late 20’s. It sucked but it was only for a year. It was worth it butI had a single teeth to fix.
Invisalign seems great for an adult. It’s more discreet and you can remove it to eat and/or during a date.
I think Smile Direct has the same product and it costs half. I remember people having a promo code making the treatment ~$800. That was 2-3 years ago though.

If you do any sort of sport where you might get hit in the mouth, you're going to want a protective mouthpiece.

My gf did invisalign recently. she thinks it was very much worth the money. She had braces as a child, and she still needed the correction done again.
Braces will hurt your teeth and your cheeks. Invisalign just hurts your teeth. Either way you will have to wear a retainer for the rest of your life to keep them straight in the long run.

Braces are so much different and better than they were when I had mine over 30 years ago that you can get ones that arent even noticeable and I believe ones that go on the back of your teeth.

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
