"I'm 31 - I'm probably too old for braces, right?"

Who’s afraid of “metal mouth” and the appearance of braces? Not adults, apparently. Recently, our dedicated staff at Dau Orthodontics read a fascinating statistic: adults getting braces has jumped 24 percent from just 14 years ago. In fact, more than 30 percent of orthodontic patients today are adults. Yes, braces help make your pearly whites strong, healthy and perfectly-aligned, but perhaps another reason for the spike in adult braces is this: cosmetics. In an age—and society—where looks matter as much as anything, and at a time when evenly-aligned teeth might be the difference between getting a job or a promotion, adults are choosing to invest in orthodontics.

While orthodontic treatment is often associated with children and teenagers, adult orthodontics and braces at our Tampa and Lutz orthodontic offices can achieve amazing results for adult patients. With treatments such as Invisalign®, In-Ovation Braces and clear ceramic braces,you can have your teeth straightened less noticeably. Orthodontic treatment with Dr. Steven Dau can be successful at any age, and adults especially appreciate the benefits of a beautiful smile.

If you’ve been thinking about getting that perfect smile, Dr. Dau, as well as our entire team, would love to have you visit for a consultation. Give us a call to set one up!
