Alignment Has No Age Limit!

If you look in the mirror and are dissatisfied with the alignment of your teeth, you may be wondering if you’re too old to adjust your teeth with orthodontic treatment. The good news is that orthodontic treatment has no age limits! At Broad Street Braces, Dr. Neil examines each potential patient to determine if orthodontic treatment is the right course of action.
As you age, your teeth can move and change. These changes can cause wear and tear on your teeth and mouth when you chew or bite. This can result in gradual bone loss and movement of your jaw that causes your teeth to gravitate inwards and overcrowd. Not only does this affect your appearance, but it can affect your speech and other factors as well.
Your motivation for dental alignment may not be entirely aesthetics. Your overall health will benefit from properly aligned teeth. Your crowding or crooked teeth are difficult to keep clean. These cleaning limitations cause you to have more dental plaque. Inflammation can occur in your mouth and even beyond that.
Adults can also be compelled to seek orthodontic treatment due to misaligned bites. Misaligned bites can cause problems with your temporomandibular joint (TMJ). This is the connecting joint between your jawbone and skull.
Orthodontic treatment is not just for teens and youth! If you’re dissatisfied with your teeth and smile, book your appointment with Broad Street Braces today. Dr. Neil and the Broad Street Braces team have extensive experience treating adult patients.
