More than 1.2 million adults wear braces in the U.S. and age is not a factor. There are other reasons for orthodontics beyond esthetics:

• Poor chewing and digestion
• Excessive wear resulting in cracked teeth, chronic headaches and TMJ disorders
• Speech difficulties
• Difficult homecare resulting in bad breath, tooth decay, gum disease and tooth loss
• Self esteem, poor appearance, and social avoidance
