Even though childhood is the ideal time to undergo orthodontic treatment, more adults these days are opting for braces and/or aligners. In fact, the American Association of Orthodontists claims that 1 in 5 orthodontic patients is over 18 years of age!
Crowded teeth can be difficult to clean and thus tooth decay can be a problem. Also, poor alignment can put stress on the teeth, muscles and bone and even cause pain.
You don’t need to give up on having straight teeth just because you aren’t a child anymore.
Talk to your orthodontist for the right solution for you.
