Am I Too Old for Braces?

Orthodontic treatment for adults is becoming more and more common. In fact, the number of adults getting braces has actually climbed 24 percent since 1996! More adults than ever are realizing that orthodontic treatment is not just for kids, and can help improve the aesthetics and health of a smile of any age! In society where appearance matters and can help make the difference between getting a job or a promotion, adults are choosing wisely to invest in orthodontic treatment.

Some of the most common reasons our adult patients come to us considering orthodontic treatment include:

  • Teeth that are crowded or spaced apart, sometimes as a result of tooth decay or gum disease
  • Pain or pressure from crooked teeth or a misaligned jaw
  • A bad bite or malocclusion, causing teeth to fit together incorrectly

Most of all though, adult patients come to our office seeking a healthier mouth and a more confident smile! Orthodontic treatment at our office can be successful at any age, and adults especially can appreciate the benefits of a beautiful smile.

As an adult patient, we recognize that you have different needs than our younger patients, and we will work with you to ensure you receive the most appropriate treatment and that your needs are met with understanding and respect from us.

Great experience! Dr Whitlock and his staff were very kind and accommodating throughout my Invisalign process. The scanning process is super easy. I was very happy with the results with the appearance of my teeth and the way it has help me sleep better with the positioning of my teeth where my tongue has more resting room. I am 53 and I was never advised that I needed braces. My teeth were pretty straight. A couple years ago my dentist said that as we age our teeth will continue to crowd inward. Which could be a problem. So I got a consultation with Dr. Whitlock. Great decision!!
