My teeth were all fully grown, and I had protruding, flared teeth like comedian Park Jun-hyung, so I had orthodontic treatment with 4 teeth extracted. Honestly, my protrusion wasn’t extremely severe, so when I said I was getting braces, people around me asked why, and I worried I might end up with a sunken mouth. But I still thought it would be better than protrusion, so I went for it right away...
I started orthodontic treatment in my 30s, so they said it could take a long time, but it finished earlier than expected and ended right at 2 years.
I’m really happy that my protruding mouth improved, but honestly, I think there are also so many downsides... Why don’t dental clinics tell you about these inconveniences? I still don’t regret it because my mouth went in, but there are quite a lot of inconveniences, such as thinner lips + looking older + food getting stuck in my teeth, etc., so I think you need to decide carefully...
