Braces and Your Age
I'm 23 this year and wanted to wear braces.is that possible in my age? I want something that is very invisible to others.Are there any new types of braces in market? and I would like to know the total cost as well. Thank You
Dr. Asensio: There is really no age limitations or an ideal age for a person to get braces, if the person has a need for braces the earlier the intervention the better for that patient. Regarding braces that are invisible to others.... there is more than one form of treatment that could be consider. If regular braces with wires are to be used clear brackets could be placed on the front teeth that are almost invisible. However, there is a more advance product that is invisible to others in every way. This is called INVISALIGN and could work for you. The teeth are moved via an aligner that fits over your teeth . For more information on this or to find out about a dentist that is trained to do INVISALIG visit WWW.invisalign.com.
