Orthodontic treatment can be successful at any age and adults
especially appreciate the benefits of a beautiful smile. One of every
five patients in orthodontic treatment is over 21. Jaw surgery is more
often required for adult orthodontic patients because their jaws are
not growing. Adults also may have experienced some breakdown or loss of
their teeth and bone that supports the teeth and may require
periodontal treatment before, during, and/or after orthodontic
treatment. Bone loss can also limit the amount and direction of tooth
movement that is advisable.
