Hello sir, No braces have no age limit and the treatment may last around 1 years or more depending on cases. If you are looking for short duration I would advise you to opt for self ligating braces or clear aligners if possible which you can enquire with dentist.

Braces treatment has no age limit. Duration of treatment depends upon your oral condition. Your orthodontist can tell you the time period of Ortho treatment.

No age limit but the gum condition should be good. Duration of treatment depends on the condition to be treated.

Hi, Braces do not have any age limitations. But the outcome of the treatment gets delayed with age. 31 is the upper limit to start your treatment. If you delay any further you might prolong the outcome. There are better option than braces these days. You can certainly try Invisalign which is a invisible bracket for better aesthetics.
