Adults can be treated at any age -- it is absolutely never too late to experience the benefits of a healthy and beautiful smile. (Our oldest patient so far -- 86!) Whether you've worn braces early in life or not, we have a multitude of options available that will fit your specific needs and lifestyle.
Below I've answered some of the most common questions relating to Adult Orthodontics. As always, feel free to contact us should you have any additional questions.
Why would adults need braces?
Some adults did not benefit from Orthodontic treatment as a child, which may have left unresolved problems such as: overbite, underbite, crooked or crowded teeth, jaw joint problems, and incorrect jaw position. If left untreated these issues can result in a multitude of larger problems such as: tooth decay, headaches, or even speaking, chewing, or biting problems.
Many adults also undergo treatment to improve self-image and self-confidence whether in their personal or work life.
Will it take longer?
Generally speaking, treatment time is the same regardless of whether you started 20 years ago, or today. Each case is different, and we will discuss your specific plan and how long it will take in your free consultation.
