I had a few ask me that same questions. They were not
being rude, just curious. So I answered their
questions. They seemed to understand and went away.

When I got braces, I did not know any other adult with
them, but afterward, it seemed to start a trend. I
had like 5 others I work with or friends get braces.

You may be the trend setter there too. Then the rude
people may have to join the trend setters too...LOL
