I was a good boy, I waited until I was 48 and needed a power brace for about 19 months, but ultimately worth it rather than going for the quick fix.
Around €8,000+ with only one crown and one cap, every else is my own and even my missus has commented about how great they look and why don't you smile more. Well my teeth before were that bad, you'd never smile to show them off and so maybe those muscles are well gone. But then again, men can often look effete when smiling.
Don't know why I waited so long, but I did.
