Adults

Orthodontic treatment can be successful at any age and today one in every four patients undergoing orthodontic treatment are over the age of 21. The age is not important so long as the person has healthy gum tissue, teeth, and supporting bone. The biological process for moving teeth is essentially the same in adults as it is in children and teenagers. Many adults today are choosing to have orthodontic treatment to gain a more attractive smile which translates into more self-confidence in personal, business, and social situations.
