Technically speaking, there is no “best” age to get braces. You can straighten your teeth at any time. Over 60% of our patients are adults, and around 10% of those are over the age of 55. As an adult, your jawbone is settled – along with any problems that come with it, including an underbite, overbite, crowded teeth, and/or gaps in your smile.

If you’ve avoided orthodontic treatment in the past because you don’t like the idea of wearing traditional metal braces, Invisalign® might be the ideal solution for you. Instead of brackets and wires, Invisalign® uses clear plastic teeth aligners to straighten your teeth. The aligners are custom-fit, optically clear, and designed to look virtually unnoticeable while you are wearing them. Best of all, the Invisalign® aligners can be removed whenever you need to eat or brush your teeth, making them more convenient than traditional braces.

Opal® Seal is a protective sealant that Dr. Robert Rudman uses to prepare your teeth before he puts your braces on. Because it is often difficult for you to clean your teeth while wearing braces, it is important to seal your teeth with a dental sealant for an added layer of protection.
