There is no age limit for orthodontics. Teeth and tissue are essentially the same in both adults and children.

Many adults have their crooked teeth and protruding bites realigned. Adult treatment may take 10 to 20 percent longer due to the difference in the physiologic responses of the tissues in the mouth of an adult as compared with a ten or twelve year old. Simply put, an adult's bone structure is more dense and firmly set, so a slightly longer response to tooth movement can be expected.

We currently see 10 to 12 adult patients every day. Adult braces are designed to so that they are less visible. REMOVABLE braces are designed to work from the back. FIXED braces are made from ceramic tooth coloured brackets and tooth coloured wires designed to camouflage the appearance of the brace. The latest technology is ‘invisible' plastic aligners using the INVISALIGN method.
