Orthodontic treatment can be successful at any age, and adults especially appreciate the benefits of a beautiful smile. One of every five patients in orthodontic treatment is over twenty-one. Adults may have experienced some excessive wear, breakdown or loss of their teeth, and/or bone that supports the teeth. They may require periodontal treatment before, during or after orthodontic treatment. Bone loss can also limit the amount and direction of tooth movement that is advisable. Jaw surgery may be necessary for more involved cases. |
