Does orthodontic treatment work for adults?

Absolutely! The notion that orthodontic treatment is only effective for children is simply a myth. The truth is, healthy teeth can be moved at any age, making orthodontic correction equally viable for adults. Whether you’re 20 or 50, orthodontic forces work in the same way to move teeth and correct various orthodontic problems. So, adults can achieve the same successful outcomes as children when it comes to orthodontic treatment. Don’t let age hold you back from achieving a beautiful smile – orthodontic options are available for adults too!
