I thought my braces would blind everyone, but I've discovered that
people don't notice until I point then out. I was talking to one guy
about my age (we'll say 45+) and noted that he had them, so I asked
about them and pointed mine out and he did a double-take.

It is not unusual at all to see people in their 30, 40 and 50's with
braces any more.
