 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.
