Am I too old for braces?

Many people associate orthodontics with childhood, so it’s natural to wonder if you are too old for orthodontics once you reach adulthood. For some people, orthodontic treatment was not an option in their youth, and others may have experienced orthodontic relapse because they did not wear their retainers after treatment. 

At Browning Family Dentistry, we offer full orthodontic services for patients of all ages. Dr. Steve Browning received advanced training in orthodontics and spent six years in an orthodontic dental practice. He offers traditional orthodontics, Invisalign, ClearCorrect, and Powerprox Six Month Braces to meet the needs of all of our patients.

If you are an adult looking to improve the appearance of your smile, you may wish to explore options such as Invisalign and Six Month Braces because they are extremely convenient.

Invisalign and ClearCorrect – Both systems use clear, plastic aligner trays to gradually move your teeth into an ideal position. Your clear aligners are removable so that you can eat and clean your teeth normally. Treatment times and costs vary depending on the treatment you require.

Six Month Braces – Powerprox Six Month Braces uses a clear memory wire and orthodontic brackets to apply low force to your teeth and move your teeth quickly. Treatment time is six months, on average, and is often more cost-effective than traditional orthodontics.
