Ask Dr. Pearson: “I’m 29 – am I too old for braces?”

Absolutely not! At the office of Dr. Melvin Pearson, nobody is “too old” for braces! In fact, we read a fascinating statistic recently: adults getting braces has actually jumped 24 percent since 1996! In fact, one of every five patients in orthodontic treatment these days is over the age of 21. Of course, braces help make your teeth stay strong, healthy and become perfectly-aligned. But we’d like you to know orthodontic treatment with Dr. Pearson can be successful at any age, and we know you adults especially appreciate the benefits of a beautiful smile.

In fact, Dr. Pearson is proud to offer an adult-friendly option for straightening teeth called Invisalign, which uses a series of invisible, removable and comfortable aligners that no one can tell you're wearing. So, you can smile more during treatment as well as after.

If you’ve been thinking about getting that perfect smile, we would love to have you visit for a consultation at our Staten Island office. Please give us a call at 877-742-8090 to set one up and have yourself a great rest of the week!
