How old is "too old" for orthodontic treatment?

Braces aren't just for kids anymore. Teeth alignment can be changed at any age if your gums and bone structure are healthy. Orthodontists offer a variety of treatments that are designed for different age groups - including adults. Orthodontic treatment at later stages in life can dramatically improve your personal appearance and self-esteem. Improving the health of your teeth and gums is equally important. Crooked teeth and a bad bite can contribute to gum and bone loss, tooth decay, abnormal wear of the tooth enamel and surfaces, even headaches, and sometimes jaw joint (TMJ/TMD) pain. A new smile can begin today.
