I would consider myself a none traditional patient for alignment being 50 yo. I decided to go with the invisible liners. Dr. Crary predicted 12 months. He was right on and I couldn't be happier with the results. Dr. Crary and his team were excellent to work with. They were very friendly and professional. I would recommend Milestone to anyone looking to straighten their teeth at an older age.
