You're never too old to smile. Which means you're never too old to improve your appearance and your health with orthodontics. Adult teeth seldom require more treatment time than a child's although the earlier treatment care is started, the easier treatment can be. Orthodontic treatment has no target age and we have treated patients ranging in age from three (3) to seventy-four (74).

Because many people have grown up with poor bites, they are much more susceptible to gum disease and subsequently, the loss of tendency for remaining teeth to shift. Proper orthodontic care can restore your bite and help you smile with confidence. And contrary to popular belief, orthodontics is not something to postpone until a child is older. Beginning orthodontic treatment between the ages of 5 and 10 is actually the easiest time for both children and their parents. At these ages, there's rarely a need for removal of teeth. And because young children have a cooperative, enthusiastic attitude about braces, the amount of time necessary for treatment is often reduced. Now that's something to smile about.
