Frequently Asked Questions
Do braces work at any age?
Yes, braces can work at any age. As long as your teeth and gums are healthy, braces can move your teeth and improve your smile. There’s no upper age limit to braces.
Braces are generally recommended for teenagers because teeth move quicker when you’re younger. You can also avoid oral health issues and jaw alignment problems if your orthodontic issues are corrected earlier.
But thanks to new types of braces, including clear braces, it’s becoming more popular for adults to correct their smiles.
Do braces weaken teeth?
Most people’s teeth aren’t weakened by orthodontic treatment. Braces correct the alignment of your teeth and reduce your risk of oral health issues. After your smile has been corrected, your teeth will be easier to clean and you’ll be less likely to develop jaw problems.
It’s possible for your tooth roots to become weakened with orthodontic treatment. You can prevent potential tooth weakening by caring for your oral hygiene properly during the tie you have braces.
