Many people undergo orthodontic treatment earlier in life during their childhood or adolescence. When the jawbone is still growing, orthodontic treatment can be used to guide its progress and ensure proper development. Teeth can also be guided more easily early in life. However, adults can still benefit from a properly designed orthodontic treatment plan and can expect to enjoy excellent results.
Although age can play a role in your treatment options, it does not necessarily affect your candidacy. If your teeth are gums are healthy but you suffer from alignment or bite problems, orthodontic treatment will likely be an appropriate option for you.
