Patient question for Dr. Caponera: "I'm 44 years old - am I too old for braces?"

Of course not! At Caponera Orthodontics, no one, and we mean, NO ONE, is "too old" for braces! Actually, our staff recently came across an interesting statistic: the number of adults getting braces has climbed 24 percent from just 14 years ago!

We think part of the reason for the spike in adult braces is this: people want to look and feel great. In an age—and society—where looks matter as much as anything, and at a time when evenly-aligned and sparkling teeth might be the difference between getting a job or a promotion, adults are choosing—wisely, we might add—to invest in orthodontics. Orthodontic treatment with Plantation orthodontist Dr. Rinaldo Caponera can be successful at any age, and adults especially appreciate the benefits of a beautiful smile.

If you’ve been thinking about getting that perfect smile, Dr. Caponera would love to have you visit for a complimentary consultation. Please give us a call to set one up!

Happy Tuesday!

Ask Dr. Caponera: what's the deal with retainers?

If you've recently completed your orthodontic treatment with Plantation orthodontist Dr. Rinaldo Caponera, our entire team would like to congratulate you! Now, after your braces have been removed, Dr. Caponera will provide—or has provided you by now—with retainers. After braces are removed, teeth can shift out of position if they are not stabilized.

Retainers, you see, provide that stabilization. They are designed to hold teeth in their corrected, ideal positions until your bones and gums adapt to the treatment changes. Wearing retainers exactly as instructed by Dr. Caponera is the best insurance that the treatment improvements last for a lifetime.

If you have additional questions about retainers or your treatment here at Caponera Orthodontics, please give us a call at 954-791-6510.

Have a great week everyone!
