Wanted to know if i can still wear braces with 18?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No age limit: I've treated patients from 5 to 87. While there are some impediments created by age, they are ultimately not contra-indications to treatment. A full 1/3 of all patients treated by orthodontic specialists today are adults. Ask your dentist for a referral.
