Great question! Our team at Melanie Parker Orthodontics will tell you braces aren’t just for pre-adolescents and teenagers anymore! The fact is, anyone, at any age, can benefit from orthodontic treatment at our convenient San Diego office, whether it’s correcting a problem not treated in your younger years, or catching a problem early.

To ensure the best overall treatment, the American Association of Orthodontists, or AAO, recommends that children receive an orthodontic consultation as early as age seven. If a problem is evident, taking action early can spare a lot of treatment and expense down the road.

If you never received orthodontic treatment when you were young, don’t worry! You’re never too old for a beautiful smile. Set up an appointment for a complimentary consultation with Dr. Melanie Parker and find out how orthodontics will transform your smile, as well as your life!

Lastly, Memorial Day weekend is upon us, and also marks the unofficial start of summer. It's also a time to remember and honor the men and women lost while serving for our country. Dr. Parker and our entire team would like to thank our outstanding veterans and their families for their service to our country, and hope everyone has a healthy and smile-filled Memorial Day weekend!
