Possibly: Your age is not the issue.. it's the reason for the gap itself, your bite, profile, and amount of room available to move your teeth. An orthodontic specialist can examine and diagnose all of the above and advise you on what can and what cannot be done.

See an ortodontist: A healthy bite and good looking smile is important at any age. A variety of orthodontic treatments are available today for all ages and all situations (e.g. gaps, overbite). If your doc is a Board Certified orthodontist is the best way to achieve your treatment goals. Orthodontists are trained three years longer than a general dentist. Good luck.

Absolutely: Age is not a barrier to Orthodontic Care. See both a qualified Orthodontic Specialist and your Restorative Dentist for more information. Sometimes gap closure requires braces, sometimes restorations, and sometimes the best result is obtained when the Orthodontist sets up your occlusion to facilitate optimum restorative treatment. Explore all your options.
