Ask Dr. Greenberg: “I’m 35 – am I too old for braces?”

Greenberg Orthodontics & TMJ

Absolutely not. At the orthodontic office of Dr. Vickie Greenberg, 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 our staff recently read a statistic that the number of adults getting orthodontic treatment has actually climbed 24 percent since 1996!

Yes, braces help make your pearly whites 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 an age—and society—where looks matter as much as anything, and at a time when evenly-aligned teeth might be the difference between getting a job or a promotion, adults are choosing—wisely, we might add—to invest in orthodontics.

If you’ve been thinking about getting that perfect smile, Dr. Greenberg would love to have you visit for a consultation at our convenient Altadena Orthodontics office. Please give us a call at (626) 768-7766 to set one up!

Happy Holidays from all of us at Vickie Greenberg Orthodontics!
