Healthline (12/23) discusses the growing
number of adults seeking orthodontic treatments, stating that “the number of
adults undergoing orthodontia has risen by 40 percent in the past decade,
according to the American Association of Orthodontists.” The article states
that nearly 25 percent of people who began orthodontic treatment in 2014 were
adults, attributing the increasing number of adults seeking orthodontic
treatment to “a combination of relatively lower prices and newer, less clunky
products.”
