Ask Dr. Rinaldo Caponera any day of the week, and he'll tell you that braces aren’t just for pre-adolescents and teenagers anymore. In fact, we read a fascinating statistic recently: the number of adults getting braces has actually climbed 24 percent since from just 15 years ago! Yes, braces help make your pearly whites strong, healthy and perfectly-aligned, but perhaps another reason for the spike in adult braces is this: people want to look and feel great. Anyone, at any age, can benefit from orthodontic care, whether it's correcting a problem not treated in your younger years, or catching a problem early. To ensure the best overall treatment, the American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children receive an orthodontic consultation as early as age seven. If a problem is evident, taking action early can spare a lot of treatment and expense down the road.
If you never received orthodontic treatment when you were young, not to worry! You’re never too old for a beautiful smile. Set up an appointment for a consultation and find out how adult orthodontics will transform your smile, and your life!
We hope you're having an outstanding summer.
