I am an older patient who had never worn braces. I was surprised how soon I just got used to wearing them. I am very happy with the way my teeth are straightening. I wish that I had done it sooner. Dr. Gardner and the team have been very supportive and encouraging. There were other older patients so I never felt out of place. I was surprised at how good I felt about my smile. So don't wait, like I did. I would certainly encourage you to try Brazos Valley Orthodontic Specialists. Anna Mosbo
