Orthodontic treatment can be successful at any age, and adults especially appreciate the benefits of a beautiful smile. One of every five patients in orthodontic treatment is over 21. Thanks to today's smaller, less visible, more comfortable brackets, adults are finding braces more appealing. Healthy teeth, bones and gums respond well to orthodontic treatment at any age. Although, adult treatment can sometimes vary from a child's treatment. A multi-disciplinary approach is often necessary to attain the best results. Bridgework or other restorations are needed to complete the case, if the patient has missing teeth. All in all, the end result gives the adult patient a more functional, beautiful, healthy smile.
