Are You an Adult With Crooked Teeth?..Don’t Worry They Can Still be Fixed With Braces.

About 1 million Americans and Canadians over the age of 18 are getting tooth braces or adult braces. Tom Cruise, Isaac Hanson, Jennifer Elise Cox, one of the stars of the Brady Bunch, and Canadian rock star EMJAY are just some of them.

Gaps, overlaps, crowding, rotated teeth — these are just some of the conditions that can ruin your smile and your oral health. Fortunately, these are all conditions curable by orthodontic appliances, or tooth braces. Tooth braces are metal, plastic or ceramic devices that put tension on your teeth to shift them into a more desirable position.

Teeth can be moved at any age; and many orthodontic problems can be corrected as easily for adults as for children. However, since adults are no longer growing, treatment may take longer than it does for teenagers. The average adult wears tooth braces for 18 months to three years. After tooth braces are removed, you may need to wear a retainer to maintain the results of your treatment.
