Adults and Braces-Is It For You?

In the not too distant past it used to be rare to see an adult with braces. Well things have certainly changed! Approximately 30% of our patients now are adults.
Many people did not get braces when they were young. Either their parents could not afford it, 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 unhappy with their smile. Other people did have orthodontic treatment when they were young, but they did not wear their retainers and their teeth have shifted. Most adults get orthodontic treatment because they realize that taking care of your smile is part of taking care of yourself.
It is important to note, there is no age limit! Marcia, our treatment coordinator likes to tell the story of an 83 year old woman that scheduled an orthodontic exam in an office she worked at. This patient said she had 20 more years to live. She had always wanted straight teeth and she wanted braces! My recommendation, don’t wait until your 83. Consider braces or Invisalign now and have the enjoyment of years with a healthy beautiful smile. 
Our exams are complimentary and very informative so please feel free to call our office today and schedule a complimentary exam. At that appointment Dr. George will be able to let you know what would be involved in creating that beautiful healthy smile that you have always wanted.
