Years ago many people used to think that orthodontic treatment was only for young kids, and that's not the case today. A gentleman quoted a recent study that came out, and in that study, he said that the smile is the first thing that people notice about people today, period. It used to be the eyes, but now it is the smile. And, I see so many adults that are seeking treatment today, especially with all the technology we have today. In our practice it is not uncommon at all for kids to come in for treatment, and the parents to come in for treatment. We will see mom and dad. We recently had a lot of grandmothers coming in. We have daughters getting married and grandma's getting braces because she wants a beautiful smile. The daughters want beautiful smiles for mom. And often times as we age our self esteem, you know, life changes occur. Either, death of a spouse or death of a family member. We all go through emotional changes as we age. We wish we could stay looking young forever but that's not the reality in life. But, it's amazing that the subtleties, that when you take someones smile that looks old because, teeth are crooked and malformed and misshaped, and you straighten teeth and give them a beautiful smile that follows the curvature of the lip, it really gives them that youthfulness back that they long desire for over the years. So, adult treatment is very very common today, and definitely becoming more common as we progress.
How old is too old? I say no one is too old to have orthodontic treatment. We have, as I mentioned, patients into the 80's that have come in and sought treatment. Sometimes there are limitations and challenges with patients of that age, but there's always something that we can do to improve the smile. We may not ever get perfection and that's important, because, one case sticks into my mind when we talk about "how old is too old," and I literally had an eighty year old woman walk into my office one day, and she brought a photo in, of when she was 25 years old, and she said, "Dr. Schaefer, can you make my smile look like this?" And, she had a beautiful smile already, had already had orthodontic treatment three or four times, had a really good finish orthodontically, what we would consider a good finish, but just had some alignment problems, just minor alignment problems with her teeth. And I tell all of our patients that sometimes orthodontics is about the microns, it's the the minutia stuff, that you know really, is an artistic part of being an orthodontist. And, it's not really about being a mechanic. We're good mechanics about moving teeth and putting things where we want them, but there's an artistic part, which is usually the finishing stage and how we, you know, detail things at the end of treatment.

52 and got braces. Cant wait to see my new improved smile.😄
How did it go?
bobbie goodman did they work for you?I need to fix mine iam 47 year old
Really 😳, i am 25 and still thinking 😕
@@mitalipal6570 same, when I was around 15-16 I was afraid to get it for myself because classmates would pick on me. Now I am 26 and so pissed at that fact. I wish I had put myself first before thinking what others might say. I can't even take a good picture because of that, and if you have no picture you have no social life (what will I post on insta??). Do get yourself checked at the dentist.
@@Atul-Kr-117 thank you @Aristotle definitely i will go to dentist i really want a good smile and confidence too. Still thank you for encouraging me this means a lot.
I'm 30 and getting treatment done. Wish I could have gotten treatment when in middle school and high school but parents didn't have money to spend on care. So it's never to late to get treatment. By far the best $5400 I have ever spent on myself. :) I have 18 months to go until I'm finished hopefully. :)
Michael Krisch never too late indeed. I was 31 getting mine. 3 years with them on now.
Damn 5400 im gonna end up payig 7000
Michael Krisch same thing I said. The best $5000 I’ve spent thus far
Just got mine age 33. Guestimate of 13months. But same, parents couldnt afford. Shouldve started when my career was blooming at 25.
I also want to have one but i am not sure its not about money. I am afraid that it might damage my teeth by affecting the roots or make them sensitive and vulnerable.
This was great to hear. I’m 54 and getting mine in about four months
WOW! That's FANTASTIC!
How did your brace go ?
Please tell me how it went. I'm 50 and considering it.
This was great. Im 27 and just began my treatment 7 months ago and see major changes already...im so glad I began my journey.
Kevin Marcel M. ... really... I'm 25. I want to try this
Bro can i eat chicken wings with braces? I cant seem to find info anywhere.
Any side-effect?
Did it hurt?
How about your tooth condition before wearing brace🙄
This whole comment section is wholesome I'm 20 and was afraid too be soo old for this thank u ❤
I am 25 year old can i get good result or jot
Pls tell me🙏🏻
I am 63 and started with Invisalign yesterday. I am so excited! But most important...I really want to keep all of my teeth, and they were really starting to move around too much. I must say the first day has been painful, but I am still excited and looking forward to my new smile!
Wow...nice. I'm 42 and was a little concerned. Can't wait to get that smile.
SlimLighty I didn't get mines until I was 40.
I am 56 just have a brace 2 months and feel little loose of teeth, which make cleaning easy.
I just turned 43, just started Invisalign. 27 tray for ten days, 38 weeks.
Did you get them ?
@@eastwinding How is your tooth right now right now?
61 got braces 20 months ago. They come off in June! 😁
I just had mine at 32 this year. Back then my parents couldn't afford the treatment. Now I am able to so why not? It will be worth it.
I m also thinking about going to dentist i hope i get mine soon i am 27 years old, i cannot wait to have beautiful smile.
How did your brace journey go ?
Thank you for saying it doctor!❤️❤️👍👍👍
When it comes to braces at an older age, you want a quick result. Always go with traditional braces, Invisalign takes way too long and they do not correct overbites and other conditions. Invisalign is more for people who have had braces at a younger age or they have minimal issues with their teeth.
I’m 43. 1 year in, 8 months to go.
Can’t wait to run my tongue across my teeth again. I want my mouth back. Lol.
Teeth are looking grand though. 😬
I am 50 and I am 13 months into my treatment😁
Are you ok right now??? Any side effect??
Are u seeing any changes??
What is the result after two years？
@@starfish_369 My results are Great!
@@suvankarnandy3243 my treatment is complete! Excellent results!
I am 55 and I have severe overbite. The Orthodontist says braces are my only choice here to fix the problem and to expect treatment to be 2 years long. I am wearing my teeth down in a big way as I am apparently a grinder at night. I have also started making problem areas behind my upper front teeth that pains me some. I am looking at $5700 and that doesn’t include what my normal dentist needs to do after the braces come off. Needless to say I am scared over this whole process. Money really isn’t my biggest problem here. I really want to save my teeth as I’m pretty sure I still have a good 30 years of life, maybe longer since we as a society are living longer. I go for more consultation over all this next week. I need to shake the fear and go for it..
I refused to get treatment and put on braces when i was a teenage because at that time my generation considered having braces makes you look like a nerd and it's a license to get bullied just cause you have pieces of metal on your teeth. Now the generation is lucky cause getting braces is accepted even as a trend. I am coming 30 this year, i haven't got enough money to afford tho, but when i do, i am definitely getting one.
I just got mine yesterday and I'm 38! Can't wait to see my beautiful smile 😍
I’m 50 and I’ll get mine on the 15th. Can’t get it off of my mind. Not looking forward to the journey but the end result will be worth it all.
I'm also in my 50's and will be getting traditional braces this week. How are yours going?
47 and getting braces for the second time .
What a nice man. I like him.
when I was 13 I had braces. a long time ago.. I got bored with the retainers and it didn't take long before my overbite/buck tooth smile returned. at 40 I decided I'd had enough. went through the treatment again this time addressing the molar rotations that my childhood orthodontist ignored... 20 months later my braces came off. I started off with a Hawley retainer that I wore for 30 years and it finally gave up the ghost. I switched to the newer clear essix retainer that I wear every night. just turned 74 and I'm determined to keep my teeth. so listen up. wear your retainer. did you hear that?
lol get out of hear ,you liar
it's true. after you got ur braces off, u need to wear the retainers. As the name implies, 'retainers'
it retains the fixed teeth, so as not to return from the old self.
Just got mine and i am 32yo. its never too late
57,just had braces about one week.
HOW IS IT?I'M GETTING MINE NEXT MONTH AND I'm 42
I'm almost 19yrs and I need this !!! But no money yet💔
54 here....getting tomorrow morning.
Good luck iam 53 getting mine done next month something I’ve been wanting for years just never had the money or courage congrats
Thank you for this video.
How much it cost?
the artistic part
I'm 13, and my mom does NOT want me to get braces (even though I'm turning 14 in a month) because she believes that I would have to repeat braces when I'm older (which is stupid, because if I wear my retainers or get permanent ones, my teeth won't move a lot) also having my braces later would take longer (I have two incisors missing, either they can't come up because there are teeth taking up their space or the teeth are not even there, also I have a canine that's way up my gums, which is very hard to clean.
Your mom is absolutely right,braces cause a lot of issues apart from relapse,root resorption and tmd where in jaw goes out of alignment.
doc, u r really angels of God
Hello Dr.
I m 41 yr old..I have gaps in my teeth but no problem as such. Is it advisable to go for braces in this age just for smile correction purpose?
Also, I have seen people facing speech trouble with lingual braces.
I’m 16 and I was supposed to go to an orthodontist 3 years ago but it was forgotten so now I’m gonna need to have braces for 1,5-2 years... FML
35 here representando la raza.
Periodt
41 and getting mine next month
Dr where is your clinic,I need to fix my teeth,I'm 47 year old
sir can we replace missing lower 2nd molar with lower wisdom tooth using orthodontics
i am 42 i wish my smile looks good
I visit a dentist today, and she always discouraged me to wear braces cause I'm 38 already. The dentist is in her 50's she lacks some dental equipment and I believed she's a traditional type. I felt discouraged at first but I don't believed her. Does anyone here had braces even if you have fixed bridge or jacket? I'm wondering if that is possible.
Go to a different dentist.
Dr. How long it takes?
I'am 37 ,I have uupertwo big teeth crossing over..
and lower teeth are also misaligned.
I have hypertension, taking antihtn drug for months.. Can I do it?
I have same issue as yours with my upper and lower teeth. Got them Feb 2019, and took them off Feb 2021. I visit the dentist monthly for adjustment except during the 3-4 months lockdown due to the pandemic. How long factors in on how diligently you go back to your dentist for adjustment aside from your teeth issues, according to my dentist.
I just turned 40 and got braces put in 2 weeks ago
I am 25 and got my braces off at 16 but my teeth are shifting again. I'm trying to devise between metal braces and Invisalign
Please don't go for braces again,they cause jaw joint issues like tmd please be careful
I'm 30 and got my braces a month ago.
I’m 44 they put my braces today exact time 10am, it’s already 2am still no pair experience it’s normal? Please reply?
Team Abroad ingot mines at 40 and they moved really fast, within 6 months I saw a difference.
@@fah232 are you using metal braces?
@@rolansanchez7046 Yes, I was.
I am 25 and almost 26 in 1 months. Dentist is trying to sell me on this Invisalign when I got my root canal / crown and wisdom teeth removal. Not sure if I should pay thousands on this.
Dont do it please,braces cause tmd.
@@Gratefulskanda There you are again HAHAHAH!
I'm 30 years old and I wanted to get braces for so long but back then my parents can not afford it...Is it okay to have them now at my age?
Age shouldn't matter:) go for it. I am 14 and I got mine on June 26, 2018.
I'm 34 and I got braces
Did you say how long you had those braces? I will get traditional braces next week, and I am 48. Not funny. Specially when I asked for braces in Aspen Dental, Bright Smile, Florida Dental several times FOR YEARS.
Im thinking of getting Braces again but there are so many things I want done to my teeth. I need my wisdom teeth removed and I am scared of getting it done ( I don't like pain ). I need a tooth that I want removed because my otho said I wont have a perfect smile with that tooth. I need my front teeth refilled because its chipped . My smile is very important to me I want a perfect smile
Please don't do it second time,you may have jaw joint issues which is a worst case scenario.be content with who you are.
I am 48. Should I go for Invisilign or the traditional metal braces?
It depends on your situation. Some cases may not be treatable with Invisalign.
Should I go for braces or retainers? I am 28 with huge teeth gaps on upper brace front teeth
Don't go for braces,they cause jaw joint issues.pkease do your research.
24 here, ortho recommended extraction of lower incisor.....i heard after a certain age, gaps dont fill in with age? Is 24 late to get an extraction
No not at all. You can always get a second opinion before making any removal appointments.
My age is 24 csn i get good result at this stage
Pls.tell me
I am 36yrs old so can I wear braces now... please do reply...
Have any side effects this system?
Definitely tmd ,please do your research.braces are a scam.
@@Gratefulskanda Does the BS in your name stand for bullshit? All up in the comments spreading ill information. Sounds like you had a bad experience. Quit trying to sway others from getting braces because you had a bad experience. It was probably your fault anyways HA.
Used to be the eyes, now it is Smile. We recently saw gran'moms walking in.
Dr please fix braces for me....I can't afford the money by myself...from India.
Im 25 and wanna put braces fr my upper front could someone tel me how long will it take to fixed completely😊
I also had braces for the same it took a year for me

I'm 23 of age can this treatment work for me dentist said for 4 teeth remove then braces
Same here Dentist said 4 pre-molars. I am quiet concerned
Hello mam.. kitne months me braces hataye apke?
Please don't go for braces and extractions,they cause jaw joint issues like tmd and extractions cause sleep apnea do your research,natural teeth is the best.
@@Gratefulskanda THIS LADY LMAOOOOOO
who to teeth braces treatment make home made my age 28 save my teeth push to under.. Please help me sir
Guys please know the downside of getting traditional orthodontics like tmd,root resorption.temporomandibular dysfunction.your jaws are moved to unfavorable position which causes lot of problems.extractions cause sleep apnea
Something that has worked for thousands of people for years and you're over here trying to change the world in a comment section. So what would your solution be if one should choose to correct their teeth?
@@LafeJames please go n see Dr Prabhakar Raman's website,its a huge truth that the public is unaware that braces,extractions n traditional orthodontics lead to tmd ,financially trying to gain at the cost of damaging a person's vital body part of survival is immoral n illegal.ban dentistry save lives
@@Gratefulskanda I'm sorry I am unable to find the website you are talking about. No need though, I see we have a conspiracy theory situation going on here. One person's thoughts over thousands of proven successful cases. I'm 38 years old, I live in the USA - most, if not all of the people in my life that needed teeth correction have had braces at one point and time. They are all happy. I can tell because they smile, and their smiles beautiful. Have you had braces, or know anyone who has had the side affects that you are stating?
@@LafeJames its dr Prabhu Raman RUclips channel he is a neuromuscular orthodontist practicing at Kansas city united states.yes i myself had tmd due to braces,traditional orthodontics to be specific that retracts the jaws n teeth.wish ppl in United States 🇺🇸 become a lot more wiser n cautious as these dentists are concealing the truth
@@Gratefulskanda Out of respect for your thoughts I will check this out. However, there is overwhelming proof that braces are a viable and successful option for most people looking to improve their smile/bite/TMJ. I'm sorry if you had an isolated bad experience.
Sir can 17 year old get a braces
