As an adult, you may have heard (or believe) that it’s too late for you to get braces. But we’ve got good news for you… It’s never too late for braces! We really mean it. Yes, adults can get braces and yes, there are more favorable treatment options, like invisible braces for adults, available.
You may not have been able to undergo orthodontic treatment as a teen, but that doesn’t mean you have to deal with crooked teeth, or a bite condition (overbite, underbite crossbite, open bite) for the rest of your life.
No matter your age, it’s never too late to start living your greatest quality of life.
Orthodontic treatment isn’t just about a gorgeous smile. Braces or Invisalign® can treat and prevent a number of conditions, like gum disease, cavities, and bone loss, to name a few. That’s because misaligned teeth or overlapping teeth harbor more spaces for bacteria to grow. Beautifully-aligned teeth make it easy to brush all surfaces and floss between each tooth thoroughly.
Are there Side Effects of Braces for Adults?
Are there any inherent side effects of braces for adults? No, not necessarily.
Although, it’s important to know that treatment times for adults are generally longer than treatment periods for teens or children.
In the childhood and early teen years, the teeth and jaw bones are more susceptible to modification, as treatment works alongside their natural development. Once the teeth and jaw bones have stabilized and are fully-developed, orthodontic treatment has to reverse any conditions that have progressed.
Other than longer treatment lengths, there aren’t many differences between orthodontic treatment for adults Vs. teens and children. Adults can still expect to experience some minor soreness and tenderness (that teens and children do) during the first few weeks of treatment, as the teeth adjust.
