Braces are designed to correct several orthodontic problems that can start as early as childhood, and persist throughout adulthood if not properly addressed. Many people know that braces are used to straighten teeth, but they are also used to correct overbites, underbites, overcrowding, and jaw misalignment.
We offer many different kinds of braces in our practice. Picking the right method for your personal needs is a discussion you can have with Dr. Thabet when you come in for a consultation.
If you are an adult in need of orthodontic help, it is important to know that it is never too late to get braces. Yes, many people go through the process of braces as children or teens, but there are many valid reasons to wear braces as an adult too.
For teenagers, braces usually need to be worn for about two years, but this varies based on the orthodontic issues that need to be fixed.
