Good to know
Your questions, answered.
Am I too old for braces?
No. Teeth can be moved at any age, as long as the gums and bone around them are healthy.
Braces or clear aligners?
Braces work for nearly every case. Clear aligners are almost invisible and removable, and suit many mild to moderate cases.
Do braces hurt?
Teeth feel tender for a few days after fitting and after each adjustment. Soft food and simple painkillers help.
