Am I too old for braces?
Braces are normally associated with youth and adolescents but the truth is that more and more adults are going in for the process to improve their smile both aesthetically and functional with braces without impeding or limiting their natural radiance.

Braces are ideal for adults as well after being treated for periodontitis and caries prior to orthodontic treatment.
On addition, the jaw is fully developed in adults and the results differ to that of children.

Other factors for consideration are that adults consume a noticeable amount of coffee and red wine which stain the teeth. This is even more noticeable after braces removal, leaving discoloration stains as a result of bad mouth hygiene.
Braces for adults is an effective way to create the smile of their dreams.

Frequently asked questions

Can I avoid metal braces?
Each case is unique and your suitability for personalized treatment should be discussed. There are several options for reducing or eliminating the appearance of metal in your mouth. Aligner therapy uses transparent splints that you wear over your teeth while they gradually move to new positions. Metal braces can be replaced with ceramic or white ones if you wish, while occasionally the braces are also placed lingually, in the inner side of the teeth.

why can’t I have braces if I have gingivitis?
Orthodontics recommend that you improve your oral health for serious reasons. Orthodontics makes oral hygiene difficult, and if you have gingivitis, your gums are more likely to be adversely affected.
