Are Adult Braces Worth the Trouble?

My oldest patient that underwent orthodontics was in their 60's.  There are many reasons and benefits, but ultimately, only YOU can decide if it is worth the effort.

Only you can determine the importance of your smile.  If you aren't happy with your smile, then you can always schedule a consultation with an orthodontist to evaluate what your treatment options are.  There is no upper age limit as to when one should get orthodontic treatment.  I have a few patients in their 60's and even a few in their 70's in active orthodontic treatment.
The beauty of clear aligner systems such as Invisalign is that more adult patients are willing to seek orthodontic treatment to obtain healthier smiles without having to resort to braces.

Hi, no one is too old for braces! Depending on your situation, you may be able to get your teeth straightened in about 6 months with a system called Six Month Smiles.  If you want straighter teeth, but you don't want to go through the "trouble" of a complete comprehensive braces system that often takes 2 years, you could consider a 6 month option that uses simple movements...and the braces and wires are white too.

Only you can decide if it's more trouble than you're willing to go through to straighten your smile, but nowadays it's much less trouble than it used to be.
