Common questions about orthodontic treatment for adults
Am I too old for braces or Invisalign?
Absolutely not! There's no age limit for orthodontic treatment. Adults in their 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond successfully complete treatment every day. As long as your teeth and gums are healthy, you can benefit from orthodontics. In fact, about 1 in 4 orthodontic patients today is an adult.
