Ask Dr. Skibell: “I’m 32 – am I too old for braces?”

Thanks for the question – at the office of Dr. David Skibell, NOBODY is “too old” for braces!

In fact, our staff read a fascinating statistic recently: the number of adults getting braces has actually climbed 24 percent since 1996! Yes, 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 and sparkling teeth might be the difference between getting a job or a promotion, adults are choosing—wisely, we might add—to invest in orthodontics. Orthodontic treatment with Dr. Skibell can be successful at any age, and adults especially appreciate the benefits of a beautiful smile.

Contact our office to start your journey to a beautiful, new smile. We look forward to working with you and brightening Houston with your new beautiful smile! Contact our Houston, TX orthodontic office to schedule an appointment.

Happy Holidays from all of us at Dr. Skibell's office!
