I am 50 years old with crooked teeth, what are my alternatives?

Orthodontics is always an option. People are never too old to get their teeth straightened! One contributing factor that need to be under control before orthodontic treatment could begin is if you have an uncontrolled periodontal (gum) disease. Many adults do not like the idea of wearing braces, however; you do see it more and more. There are also ceramic braces that are similar in color to your teeth (instead of the metal brackets). Also with Invisalign or similar treatments, crooked teeth can be corrected without any braces at all. However, not every person is a candidate for Invisalign.





Other options are: Veneers (porcelain facades for the teeth), Bonding and Enamel Recontouring.





It is difficult to say which treatment is the best for you without reviewing your case personally! But either way, age does not really play a factor in the different alternatives!
