Don't let age stop you from having the straight teeth you've
always dreamed of. Braces aren't just for kids anymore. Parents are still
making regular trips to the orthodontist's office, but these days more and more are
leaving their kids in the waiting room.
Sad, but true…over time our bodies start to wear out,
including our teeth. As you age, your teeth break down. Unfortunately, it's one
of the most visible signs of aging. As teeth wear, the lower and the upper jaw
move closer together. Shortening of your teeth causes your lips to change,
creases to form on the sides of your nose and mouth, a deep crease develops
between your chin and lower lip and jowls develop on the sides of your jaw. Crooked
teeth and a bad bite can also contribute to gum and bone loss, tooth decay and
abnormal wear of the tooth enamel.
Orthodontic treatment at later stages in life can
dramatically improve your personal appearance and self-esteem. Numerous
technological advances have made braces less noticeable, less painful and even
less time-consuming.
As America's baby boomers have become more health
conscious, they're rejecting the notion that loosing teeth and dentures are a
routine part of growing older. These days people are exercising more and eating
healthier and braces are another way of demonstrating that you care about
yourself and your overall health.
Don’t believe us? Still think you’re too old for
braces? Check out these adults who decided it was time to improve their smiles…you
might be surprised.
