You're not alone. Nearly 1 in 3 orthodontic patients are adults.
Common reasons adults seek treatment:

Crooked teeth cause uneven wear, jaw pain, and gum problems. Orthodontics isn't just cosmetic — it's preventive care.
Maybe your parents couldn't afford it. Maybe life got in the way. Whatever the reason, now is your time.
