In conjunction with proper diagnosis and treatment planning with the general dentist, orthodontia treatment can usually begin as soon as the "6 year molars" erupt. After 6-7 years of age, there is no upper age limit for orthodontics (ie. braces).

Oh, yeah. My coworker who is in her late fifties just got her metal braces taken off. I think she had them about a year. Made a big difference. Now she has something that looks like clear plastic on her teeth, I suppose its the next step, maybe clear braces...

I got mine on at 20 and got them taken off at 22. I don't think there is a certain age limit for braces.

As long as you have all of your adult teeth, braces can work at any age.

They can work for any mouth. I have friends who got them in their 30s and 40s because their family could not afford it when they were young. Good Luck!
