You are never to old for orthodontics. It has become increasingly common for adults to seek orthodontic treatment. Orthodontic treatment may take a little longer in adults due to completed growth but it is still possible to correct various forms of malocclusions. The benefits of orthodontic treatment are improved alignment of teeth, enhanced facial aesthetics, improved bite function, reduces the risks of poor oral hygiene and facial asymmetry improvement. Orthodontic treatment in adults can also prepare the dentition for other dental procedures like implants, veneers, crowns, bridges and dentures. Teeth can shift position over time and even if people had orthodontic treatment when they were young and they do not wear their retainers, there is a chance that they may need re-treatment. Treatment options may include traditional braces, clear braces, clear aligners, lingual braces, etc.
