You can, from Dublin18 Dental Care. Technically the answer to the above question is “everyone can get braces.” As in, everyone is allowed to get braces. In reality, however, the biggest factors are how badly you need or want braces, how old you are and how much money you have.

Children

Children in Dublin are obvious candidates for braces. It is recommended that you have your child checked out around age 11-12 when their adult teeth are growing.

Adults

In adulthood having braces is not out of the question. However, a big concern for many potential brace-wearers is their appearance. Many adults grew up in a time where braces were much more noticeable and therefore feel reluctant to be seen with a mouth full of metal. It is also seen as a procedure meant solely for children – not for grownups.

Luckily there is a huge range of discreet braces available privately. You can get clear ones, ones that are the same colour as your teeth and even braces that fit to the back of your teeth, which can’t be seen at all.

If you are an adult and you are looking for suitable braces treatment, visit Dublin18 Dental Care practice who will be happy to organise your orthodontic assessment and talk you through all your options. No matter what age you are, if you have a concern with your smile then there is no better time than now to have it remedied.
