AnswerBank Answer:

Is it ever too late to get braces?

Braces

No. Adolescents under the age of 10 do not get braces because their teeth and jaws are still growing. By the teenage years, orthodontic treatment becomes more appropriate as patients’ teeth and jaws fully mature. Adults can get braces at any time and choose to correct their bite or improve their smile. This can happen in their 20s to 50s and even into their 60s. Dentists and orthodontists can improve almost anyone’s smile.
