1. Teeth Can Move at Any Age
So you may think you’re too old to get braces or straighten your teeth with Invisalign. But your ARCH Orthodontist will tell you that’s truly not the case. There’s no limit as to what age teeth will no longer shift. They will respond to orthodontic treatment at any age, so that’s no excuse not to consider straightening your smile. Did you know that teeth can also move on their own or naturally as we age? It could be due to a facial injury or accident, jaw growth, or an underlying medical condition.
Ask any of the ARCH orthodontists, and they will tell you that one of the biggest reasons adults want to fix their teeth stems from having braces in the past, but their teeth have become cooked again over time. Usually, it’s because they no longer wear a removable retainer. Did you know the American Board of Orthodontics suggests adult patients where a part-time retainer for the rest of their life post-treatment?
