Greenberg Orthodontics & TMJ

Absolutely not. No one is "too old" for braces. Orthodontic treatment can be successful at any age, and adults especially appreciate the benefits of a beautiful smile. In fact, one out of every five patients in orthodontic treatment is over 21 and - not only that - but studies show that the number of adults getting orthodontic treatment has actually climbed 24 percent since 1996!

Why Adults Are Choosing Braces

Yes, braces help make your teeth strong, healthy and perfectly-aligned, but perhaps another reason for the spike in adult braces is this: people want to look and feel great. In today's professional world, where appearance can impact career opportunities, adults are choosing—wisely—to invest in orthodontics.

It's Never Too Late for Your Perfect Smile

Whether you're 34, 44, or beyond, adult orthodontic treatment offers numerous benefits:

• Improved confidence in professional and social settings
• Better oral health and easier dental hygiene
• Enhanced bite function and reduced jaw strain
• Modern treatment options that are less noticeable
• Investment in long-term dental health

If you've been thinking about getting that perfect smile, age is just a number. Adult orthodontics has never been more accessible, comfortable, or effective. The best time to start is now!
