Find out if braces are the best way to improve the alignment of your smile.

Whether your child is dealing with crooked teeth or you hate those uneven gaps in your smile, patients of our Boca Raton, FL, orthodontist, Dr. Sandy Goldenberg, can get braces at any age. You are never too old to get orthodontic treatment to fix common misalignments, underbites, overbites and so many other issues. Could you benefit from what braces have to offer you? Let’s find out.

When might you or your child start considering braces? While the ideal time for our Boca Raton orthodontist to treat your child would be between the ages of 10 to 14, this doesn’t mean that anyone is too old to get braces. In fact, more and more adults are turning to braces to get a straighter smile because it’s easy with more discreet and attractive options out there.

If you are dealing with any of these problems, then braces might be able to help:

What kind of braces will I have to wear?

This is something that we can determine when you or your child comes in for treatment. In most cases, children and young teens will need to turn to traditional braces to straighten their smile, as Invisalign isn’t the right approach for their still-growing teeth.

Of course, Invisalign and even clear traditional braces can make it easier for adults to straighten their smiles without the hassle of wearing metal on their teeth or having to deal with the embarrassment of braces to work every day. We provide a variety of orthodontic options to cater to your needs, lifestyle and budget.

How long will I have to wear braces?

There is no hard or fast rule for how long you will have to wear your braces. In most cases, children will wear braces for about 12 to 24 months. Adults who are good candidates for Invisalign may only have to wear their braces for about one year. When you come in for your orthodontic consultation we will be able to map out your treatment plan and provide a projected length of treatment.
