  Q: When is it too late for adults?

A: Your age is not a consideration for orthodontic treatment. Healthy teeth can be moved at any age - in fact, about 25% of patients undergoing treatment nowadays are adults. A healthy bite is as important at age 60 as it is at age 16. Even though adults are no longer growing, you can also enjoy improvements that come from orthodontic treatment.
