Rod Dunsmore asked about braces for adults-

Rod, my wife is an orthodontist and in her practice, probably 1/3 of her
patients are adults.  Some opt for the regular style bands and brackets
while others go for clear brackets (on the front).  Not being the
orthodontist in the family, my knowledge is strictly hearsay, but there
are several options for orthodontic treatment.  It appears that the bottom
line on duration of treatment is the difficulty of the case and the
cooperation of the patient.  The best thing you can do would be to talk to
your general dentist and have him/her recommend one or two orthodontists
with whom you can schedule a consultation.  Good luck and keep smiling.
