Orthodontics for Seniors

Orthodontic treatment, which is the process of straightening and aligning teeth, can be successful at any age. Many seniors may be interested in orthodontic treatment to address issues that may have been present for a long time or to improve the appearance and function of their teeth.

What are the Options?

There are several options available for seniors who are interested in orthodontic treatment, including traditional metal braces, ceramic braces, and clear aligners. Your orthodontist will be able to discuss the different options with you and help you choose the one that is best suited to your needs and preferences.

What’s the Difference?

It is important to note that orthodontic treatment can take longer for seniors due to the natural changes that occur in the mouth as we age. It is also possible that seniors may need to wear a retainer for a longer period of time to ensure that their teeth stay in their new, corrected position.
