Me and my wife both got braces in our early twenties and do not regret it. Started with clear brackets and that was great. My family couldn't afford to get me braces when I was younger, so I had to have them for awhile (along with an implant), but I'm so happy I did. Neither of us could do invisible aligners because we had bite problems, and that usually requires braces to fix (rubber bands). It doesn't effect your social/work life as much as you think it would. Rubber bands are annoying, but honestly, having braces is not a big social thing like it was in school. I've had friends get braces because me and my wife had braces and they realized it's not that bad and nobody cares. You have to of course be mindful about some foods (hint: smaller bites), but in general, it's not a big change, but the first few weeks might be an adjustment to how you talk and move your mouth. And the pain after an adjustment is fun, so there's that. :) tl;dr: you won't regret it.
