It is never too late to straighten your teeth. There is no upper age limit, and modern options are more discreet and comfortable than ever. A gum-health check, realistic expectations and the right treatment choice are what determine success.
Getting Your Gums Ready for Treatment
A gum assessment up front matters more for adults, who often have some periodontal history. Active disease must be settled before treatment — moving teeth through compromised bone can do harm — and a recent healthy-gum check is standard practice across South Beach.
With healthy gums established, even patients with past periodontal problems do well — provided hygiene stays meticulous, since fixed braces trap plaque and aligners seal it against the teeth if you don't brush first.
