I�ve seen people as old as Methuselah wearing braces. Okay, I was half-joking on that part, but I do wonder when the right time to get orthodontic treatment is. According to a dentist friend, you can have it done at any age. But the best time to get one is during your teens as permanent teeth are formed during this period. The thing is, once you get older, the treatment also takes longer and probability of experiencing pain is higher. But I hope that does not prevent you from getting one, even if you are fifty or seventy. Everybody has the right to a beautiful smile.
