Am I too old for orthodontic treatment?
Absolutely not! Orthodontic treatment for
adults is becoming more and more common. In fact, the number of adults getting
braces has actually climbed 24 percent since 1996! More adults than ever are
realizing that orthodontic treatment is not just for kids, and can help improve
the aesthetics and health of a smile of any age! In a society where appearance
matters and can help make the difference between getting a job or a promotion,
adults are choosing wisely to invest in orthodontic treatment.
Some
of the most common reasons our adult patients come to us considering
orthodontic treatment include:
• Teeth that are crowded or spaced apart, sometimes as a result of tooth decay
or gum disease
• Pain or pressure from crooked teeth or a misaligned jaw
• A bad bite or malocclusion, causing teeth to fit together incorrectly
• A bad bite or malocclusion, causing teeth to fit together incorrectly

treatment at our office can be successful at any age, and adults especially can
