Ask Dr. Martin: Who, exactly, benefits from braces?

Ask, and Dr. Robert Martin will tell you that braces aren’t just for pre-adolescents and teenagers anymore. Anyone, at any age, can benefit from orthodontic care; 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.

If you've never received orthodontic treatment when you were young, don’t worry! You’re never too old for a beautiful smile, says Dr. Martin. Set up an appointment for a free consultation at Crofton Orthodontics by calling (410) 721-3403 and find out how orthodontics will transform your smile, and your life!

Have a great weekend!
