    Is there an age limit for wearing braces?
    I'm 27, is it still good to wear corrective braces? I just lost 2 teeth.

    There is no age when braces are not recommended. I've had clients in their 60's get braces.

    Yes, you can get braces at any age. Most people get them while they are younger because the mouth is still growing and it tends to cut the treatment time a little. Plus it's easier/less painful for the patient to have the teeth "routed" into the right position rather than more extensive repositioning.

    But it's fine to get braces at 27. Also, the treatment time and method depends on the current position and desired results.

    There are many orthodontic treatments that don't give you the appearance of a "mouthful of metal". Check with your orthodontist to find the method best for you.
