It is never too late. Teeth can be straightened at any age. We have successfully treated children and adults of all ages. Your smile can always be improved.
However, for orthodontic treatment to work properly, it is necessary to start with healthy teeth and gums – with no caries or swellings.
Naturally, the best age to effect dental and/or maxillary corrections is when a person is still growing. At that stage it is easy to correct any possible defects that present in patients.
The result of ever evolving materials and the appearance of new techniques is the orthodontist can also accurately treat patients of any age without this causing any trauma as a consequence of duration of the very fact of having an apparatus.
Nowadays, it is possible to insert materials which are highly aesthetic – so much so that they are almost unnoticeable in the patient’s mouth.
