There is no upper age limit on orthodontic treatment. Many adults seek treatment to address concerns that have developed or changed over time, or simply because the right option — such as clear aligners — is now available to them.
Adult orthodontic cases often involve additional considerations, such as existing dental work, gum health, or previous orthodontic treatment that has relapsed. A thorough diagnostic assessment is essential before any plan is proposed.
Where appropriate, Dr. Nasrawi coordinates treatment with a patient's general dentist, periodontist, or other specialists to ensure orthodontic movement supports the overall health and function of the mouth.
What's involved
- Comprehensive assessment. A full review of dental and periodontal health before treatment begins, given the additional factors relevant to adult cases.
- Discreet options. Clear aligners and other lower-visibility appliances are available where clinically appropriate.
- Interdisciplinary coordination. Treatment planned alongside general dentists or other specialists where needed.
- Function and stability. A focus on long-term bite function and stability, not appearance alone.
