Am I Too Old For Braces In The Woodlands TX?

You are never too old for braces! I had a conversation with one of my patient’s mom about how she is so happy that her daughter is in braces. She told me that she never had braces and it was something she really wished she had as a child. I asked her if she had ever thought about getting braces as an adult. She kinda just chuckled and said ”I am way too old for braces!”

As parents, we do everything for our children. We will bend over backward to give them a great quality of life. We often never take time for ourselves, especially as parents. Don’t you think it is time for us to do something for ourselves?

Many adults don’t realize how many different types of braces they have to choose from. Recent advances in the field of orthodontics allow you to wear braces that no one can see! Here are a few options that Dr. Jeff Shao of Showtime Orthodontics in The Woodlands TX offers.

The #1 choice is Lingual Braces In The Woodlands TX

Why this our # 1 choice is because you can’t see it (well, unless you are walking on your hands with your mouth open but come on, who really does that). Lingual braces are placed behind your teeth facing your tongue.

The definition of lingual is, relating to, near, or on the side toward the tongue.

Here are a few celebrities who’ve had lingual braces:

• Catherine Duchess of Cambridge
• Prince William, Duke of Cambridge
• Miley Cyrus

Chances are you have had a conversation with someone with lingual braces and didn’t even know it!

Our #2 choice is Invisalign:

Invisalign is a series of clear trays that you use to straighten your teeth. The key to Invisalign is compliance (you have to wear your trays in order for it to work).

Celebrities who have been treated with Invisalign:

• Khloe Kardashian
• Eva Longoria
• Zac Efron
• Serena Williams
• and yup even Oprah

The 3rd option is ceramic braces In The Woodlands TX

These are the braces that are the same color as your teeth!
