Too Old for Braces?
Actually, NO!
Even though most orthodontics patients are young people, more and more adults are opting for braces. According to the American Association of Orthodontists website, one in five orthodontics patients are adults!
So, if you're an adult, and always wanted a smile that was different than the one you were born with, it's worth a consultation at Martin Orthodontics. Plus, you'll be joining lots of notable personalites, both male and female, who wore braces as an adult, including:
Nicholas Cage
Stewart Cink
Cindy Crawford
Tom Cruise
Faye Dunaway
Danny Glover
Diana Ross
