Am I Too Old For Braces?

It’s a question we hear often. We really believe you are never too old for braces. There are lots of reasons adults consider adding braces to their overall health plan. And all of those reasons are valid!  If you’ve been mulling over the idea of seeing an orthodontist about your teeth, we strongly encourage taking the time to visit with us. We offer a free consultation – so you can find out exactly what would be involved.

Here are some of the reasons adults consider getting braces.

Technology has never been more advantageous. If you are a candidate for Invisalign, you can have straight teeth using these comfortable aligners that no one can see!

It’s getting really hard to clean your teeth properly. Teeth that are really crowded or crooked are sometimes hard to clean properly, making tooth decay or gum disease more likely. There’s a connection between a healthy mouth and overall health – straight teeth may avoid problems later.

You just want to look better. We certainly understand when people want to put their best foot forward. Straightening your teeth may also help you feel more comfortable in social situations. And a beautiful smile can give you more confidence as you climb the corporate ladder!

You’re starting to avoid some foods. Hey, we get it! You’re a foodie and avoiding certain foods was not on your plan. But more importantly, mouths left untreated can sometimes get worse and create long-term health issues.  

You’ve developed a habit of hiding your smile. It started gradually, and now you find yourself hiding your smile more often. Maybe you’re in the public eye more often with your job, or perhaps it’s because you notice how many people have straight teeth. Wanting to be part of that crowd and being able to display a healthy, beautiful smile is a good thing!

If you’ve even “thought” about braces, you should come into our office for a free consultation. You’ll walk away with more knowledge and a workable plan.

And the Benefits of Straight Teeth? There’s a lot of upside to a beautiful smile! Consider these perks.

• Display a beautiful smile.
• Improve your odds of keeping your teeth long term.
• Return to a healthier mouth and improve your overall health.
• Eat healthily without avoiding your favorite foods!

We hope to see you shortly!
