Do Adults Really Get Braces? Absolutely. Many people did not get braces when they were young. Either their parents could not afford braces, or their teeth could not be straightened with the techniques of 40 years ago. Now they have problems with their teeth and gums, or they are just unhappy with their smile. They can afford braces now, and want to do something for themselves so they decide to enhance their smile. Some adult patients did have orthodontic treatment when they were young, but they did not wear their retainers until they stopped growing (you should wear your retainer until you are 24). The result is that their teeth are now a little bit crooked. Now they are unhappy with their smile so they get braces too. Presently as much as 25% of total orthodontic treatment is being done on adult patients. It is quite a change from 20 years ago when orthodontists were only treating children in most cases Why Do Adults Get Braces? Most adults get orthodontic treatment because they realize that taking care of your smile is part of taking care of yourself. Look at your smile. Your smile is the most important feature on your face. Look in the mirror. Are you happy with your smile now? Does your smile look as good as it did when you were younger? What do you think about someone who has a pleasing smile. Do you find them attractive? What do you think about someone who has an awful smile? Ask yourself a simple question: Does your smile enhance or detract form your appearance?
Orthodontic treatment can give you the smile you've always wanted. At the end of orthodontic treatment, people's smiles end up looking fabulous, and most of them say it is the best decision they've ever made. Your fabulous smile is waiting for you :) Are there any age limits? No, there are no age limits! Orthodontic treatment goes slower when you are older, and it feels different. Still, people as old as 90 are getting braces. People who live to 90 know how important it is to take care of themselves, and orthodontic treatment is part of it.
