There is no age maximum! I have treated patients in their 80's with great success!!
There is no maximum age. I’ve seen patients into their 80s. Teeth will move at any age.
Because, function and the ability to eat well are important at any age, several of my patients began treatment after age 90.
The oldest patient I've treated was 68 at the start of treatment and 70 when we took her braces off with a great result. She's the only patient I told to wear her retainer for the rest of her life.
As long as there is life, teeth will move, however we do more stabilization of teeth on the elderly so that movement from bone loss does not cause problems.We have done minor tooth movement with patients in their eighties when indicated and helpful.
Hello!
There is not a maximum age to get braces. It's okay for you to get braces.

The oldest patient I have treated was 83 years old and got braces because his wife wanted his teeth to look better. Function improved too, and he enjoyed his straight teeth for another 20 years!
H! Good news - there is no maximum age to get braces. We have patients from 6- 76 years young :) Depending on your needs, you definitely have options
Hi,
I have patients as early as four and many patients over 80. The older the patient, the higher the probability of relapse, but essentially, any age a patient can have braces, but most adults request Invisalign.
Good luck and god bless.

Many adults can still enjoy the benefits from braces, so there is no real age limit to getting braces.
There is no maximum age as long as you are able to maintain cleaning them and have healthy teeth.
