Patient question: "I'm 42 years old - am I too old for braces?"

Of course not!

In fact, our staff at Richard Boyd Orthodontics recently read a fascinating statistic: the number of adults getting braces has actually jumped 24 percent since 1996! It's true that braces help make your pearly whites strong, healthy and perfectly-aligned, but perhaps another reason for the spike in adult braces is this: people want to look and feel great.

In an age—and society—where looks matter as much as anything, and at a time when evenly-aligned teeth might be the difference between getting a job or a promotion, adults are choosing—wisely, we might add—to invest in orthodontics. Treatment with Columbia orthodontist Dr. Richard Boyd can be successful at any age, and we know that you adults especially appreciate the benefits of a beautiful smile.

If you’ve been thinking about getting that perfect smile, Dr. Boyd would love to have you visit for a complimentary consultation! Please give us a call to set one up!

Have a GREAT weekend!
