When it comes to braces, there’s no age limit. So if you have crooked, gapped teeth that are marring your smile, you can still straighten things out with many different kinds of braces. After all, there are more to straight teeth than a pleasing smile. Having straight, even teeth allows you to more thoroughly and easily clean your teeth as well as reach every surface. This results to better oral health.

So if you’re already in your 30s, 40s, and even your 50s and 60s, you’ll find that you have plenty of orthodontic treatment options to choose from.

• Traditional or metal braces are the typical braces that you may associate with the term “braces.” They have a noticeable look, but many teens opt for this because they can personalize their braces with coloured bands.
• Ceramic braces are similar in size and shape as metal braces, except that the brackets attached to the tooth are made of ceramic. The ceramic is used so it runs clear and more easily blends in with your teeth.

• Lingual braces are same as traditional metal braces except that you can’t see them. This is because the wires and brackets are attached on the inside surface of teeth.
• Invisalign looks like a mouth guard and is made of 18 to 30 clear plastic aligners that are customized to fit each tooth.

By choosing the right dental braces that can best address your tooth problems as well as suit your needs and preferences, you can better enjoy your journey to straight, even teeth.
