There is no age limit in orthodontic treatment. Only the treatment planning and sometimes its duration may change. As long as the teeth and the bone surrounding the teeth are healthy, teeth can move at any age.

​

The jaw bone is harder in adults. Therefore, the movement time of the teeth is slightly longer. In addition, some skeletal problems (upper jaw being backward, lower jaw being backward, etc.) can be corrected with functional jaw orthopedics at a young age - without the need for surgical intervention - while in adults they can be corrected with orthodontics-surgical cooperation.

​

Another issue is that adults have more aesthetic concerns. Many adults avoid this treatment because they are uncomfortable with the appearance of the braces. However, today, this concern can be completely eliminated with less visible porcelain brackets, removable transparent plates, or wires attached to the back of the teeth (lingual orthodontics).
