Braces are often associated with school-age children and teenagers.
 But here’s the truth: orthodontic treatment is not just for kids anymore.

Today, more adults than ever are choosing orthodontic care to improve their smile, bite, and overall oral health — discreetly and comfortably.

At American Hospital Clinics Doha, orthodontic treatments are designed for both children and adults, using modern techniques that fit easily into everyday life.

What Is Orthodontic Treatment?

Orthodontic treatment corrects:

  • Crooked or crowded teeth
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Overbite, underbite, or crossbite
  • Jaw alignment issues
Proper alignment improves appearance, chewing function, speech, and long-term dental health

Is There an Age Limit for Orthodontic Treatment?

No. There is no upper age limit.

Orthodontic treatment works by gently moving teeth through bone — and this process can happen at any age, as long as the teeth and gums are healthy.

Orthodontic Treatment for Children

When Should Children See an Orthodontist?

Children should have their first orthodontic evaluation around age 7.

Early treatment can:

  • Guide jaw growth
  • Prevent severe misalignment
  • Reduce the need for extractions later
  • Shorten future treatment time

Is Orthodontic Treatment More Difficult for Adults?

With proper planning and compliance, adults achieve excellent outcomes.
