Treatment Care

Many adults wonder if they have left their run too late when it comes to orthodontics. However, adults are just as good candidates for braces as adolescents. There is no cut-off age as some people may incorrectly assume; teeth can be moved and aligned correctly at any age.

Often patients are hoping to be finished treatment before an important event that they want to show off their new look. Whether it is an event or you just want to be free of braces as soon as possible, there are a few things you can do to reduce your treatment time.

Today’s orthodontic patients have choices that patients of 20 years ago didn’t have. Now the multiple options mean patients need to work through the pros and cons with their orthodontist to choose what is right for them. Clear aligners and braces both have their pros and cons which we will examine here.
