Around 50% of Orthodontic patients are adults. A lot of adults are looking for long term solutions rather than settling for "quick fixes" or "patches". For adults, the main dental disease is breakdown of the gums, not cavities. By aligning your teeth, you not only improve your appearance, but also improve your hygiene because brushing and flossing is now easier and more effective, This can save the health of your gums.If you lose your teeth, you'll look even older.
Many adults are realizing that now that their children have finished braces, and that they can afford braces for themselves understand its value, they are entering treatment too. Some adults needed orthodontic treatment as a child but it was unavailable to them, so now that they have the means they pursue it. Nobody is really too old. If a person assumes that they are going to live the next 2-3 years anyway, they might as well harness the time, get their teeth straight, and enjoy the results the rest of their life.
