Do braces still work for adults?

Yes. Age alone does not prevent orthodontic tooth movement, although dental and periodontal health must be considered.

Are metal braces the only option?

No. Depending on the diagnosis and practice offerings, ceramic braces or clear aligners may also be considered.

How often are braces adjusted?

Visit frequency depends on the treatment plan and stage of treatment. Your orthodontic team sets the interval.
