So Khloe Kardashian Got Adult Braces. Is This Really a Big Deal?
Is it weird to get braces for the first time as an adult? I ask, because it seems like people are fussing over Khloe Kardashian's decision to get braces as a 28-year-old. These days, you don't have to wear the metal braces that I had to endure in elementary school because there's Invisalign, so I just don't understand why this is a big deal. According to the American Association of Orthodontists, Khloe is part of a growing number of people over the age of 18 who are straightening their teeth. From 1994 to 2010, the percentage of adults getting braces rose 58 percent, from 680,000 to 1.1 million a year.
Khloe's smile looks pretty great to me, so I'm not sure it's necessary, but apparently a few of her teeth are crooked. Either way, I say we should all be able to make minor beauty tweaks without it becoming headline news (although when your last name is Kardashian, I guess it isn't possible to do anything under the radar).
