Many people think that braces just correct crooked teeth. While braces do accomplish this goal, they correct a much more important problem, malocclusion. We have seen several adult patients recently who did not get braces as kids because their teeth were/are relatively straight. However, they have a cross bite, over bite , or underbite. This means their teeth hit at awkward positions. Over time, this can cause many problems such as jaw pain, and excessive wearing of the teeth.
While timing is important when placing braces on children and teens because of the developing jaw bone structure, braces can be placed at any time for adults. We refer our patients to several area orthodontists. Please call today and we can help you !
