Orthodontic treatment is no longer just for teens. In fact, in our office over 30% of our patients are 30+ years old (we’ve even treated some patients in their 70s and 80s!). With clear aligners and clear ceramic braces, no one can even tell you are having orthodontics! Common reasons why adults consider orthodontic treatment:
- A bad bite or malocclusion, causing teeth to fit together incorrectly
- Teeth are crowded or spaced apart, possibly causing tooth decay or gum disease
- Abnormal jaw pain, or pressure that is caused by crooked teeth
- Desire for a healthier mouth and a more confident smile
