Ask Dr. Rey: “I’m 28 – am I too old for braces?”

Thanks for the question – at Rey Orthodontics, NOBODY is “too old” for braces!

In fact, our staff read a fascinating statistic not too long ago: 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. Rey can be successful at any age, and adults especially appreciate the benefits of a beautiful smile.

We are excited for the opportunity to work with you, and we look forward to sharing in this life-changing experience. Our office is conventiently located to the many nearby communities of Washington DC. Please contact our practice at (202) 436-5432 to schedule an appointment, and start smiling today!
