Yes, braces can be effective for people over 40, helping correct alignment issues at any age with modern options like clear aligners.

Lingual braces are fixed to the back of your teeth, offering a discreet way to straighten teeth without the metal visible.

Braces help correct bite issues like overbite, underbite, and crossbite by gradually shifting the teeth into proper alignment.

Orthodontic treatment progresses in stages: consultation, active treatment (braces or aligners), and retention to maintain results.

Retainers are typically worn full-time for the first few months after braces are removed, then nightly for several years.

Not wearing your retainer can lead to teeth shifting back to their original positions, requiring additional orthodontic treatment.

Braces can help correct speech issues caused by misaligned teeth or jaw, improving clarity and pronunciation over time.

Clear aligners in Toronto typically range from $4,000 to $7,000, depending on the complexity and length of treatment.

Invisible aligners are effective for most cases of teeth misalignment but may not address more complex issues as well as metal braces.

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an orthodontic screening by age 7, even if no dental issues are visible.
