There is no right age for wearing braces. Whenever you feel that your teeth are not aligned correctly or if you have a bite problem, opting for braces is a good idea. The time taken for rectifying the conditions of your teeth when children wear braces is less compared to that of an adult. This is because the teeth and the jaws of children are continually growing, and hence the tool works on them more quickly. But this does not mean that adults cannot wear braces. However, the time taken for the alignment would be much more. Visit your dentist first and get your dental conditions thoroughly checked as he/she will decide if braces are the right treatment for you or not.
