"How can I benefit from orthodontic treatment?"

Braces aren’t just for pre-adolescents and teenagers anymore, Dr. Gates says! Anyone, at any age, can benefit from orthodontic care; whether it is correcting a problem not treated in your younger years, or catching a problem early.

To ensure the best overall treatment, the American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children receive an orthodontic consultation as early as age seven. If a problem is evident, taking action early can spare a lot of treatment and expense down the road.

If you never received orthodontic treatment when you were young, don’t worry! You’re never too old for a beautiful smile. Set up an appointment at Round Rock Orthodontics for a consultation and find out how adult orthodontics will transform your smile, and your life!
