When Is It Too Late To Begin Orthodontic Treatment?
Almost any adult at any age can benefit from orthodontic care. Today adults especially appreciate the benefits of a beautiful smile, enhanced self-confidence, and improved dental health. Our practice is comprised of nearly 25% of patients over the age of 21. Some of our adults have been in their late 80's and early 90's. Although adult facial and dental bones are no longer growing, teeth can still be moved through healthy adult bone. Adult orthodontic treatment can take a little longer and may have some limitations in the amount of correction achieved.
Both the Damon Clear and Invisalign orthodontic systems are esthetically pleasing adult treatment methods. The Damon System employs very light pressures and low friction to position teeth in shorter treatment times and minimal discomfort.
