"Hey Dr. Frydenlund! Who benefits from braces?"

Our staff at Frydenlund Orthodontics will tell you braces aren’t just for pre-adolescents and teenagers anymore! Dr. Sam Frydenlund will tell you that anyone, at any age, can benefit from orthodontic treatment, whether it’s correcting a problem not treated in your younger years, or catching a problem early.

To ensure the best overall treatment, the American Association of Orthodontists, or AAO, recommends that children receive an orthodontic consultation as early as age seven. If a problem is evident, taking action early can spare a lot of treatment and expense down the road. In as little as eighteen months, you could have a brilliant, straight new smile! Visit Dr. Frydenlund for a free consultation, and learn how timing of treatment, the right procedures, and the right orthodontist, can restore your or your child's smile. We happily treat patients of all ages, and understand the special benefits of beginning orthodontics in the early teen years.

As for adults, we recently read an interesting fact: the number of adults getting braces has actually climbed 24 percent since 1996! In fact, one of every five patients in orthodontic treatment is over 21.

If you never received orthodontic treatment when you were young, don’t worry! You’re never too old for a beautiful smile at Frydenlund Orthodontics. Set up an appointment for a consultation and find out how adult orthodontics will transform your smile, as well as your life!
