Hello. Orthodontic treatment- aligns your teeth, corrects any crowding, spacing or malocclusion, also retroclines or proclines your teeth (as and how required). You can undergo orthodontic treatment at any age.
Orthodontic treatment includes metal/ceramic braces or invisible braces/aligners.
Kindly visit an Orthodontist for definitive diagnosis and treatment

Hello
Definitely braces treatment can be done at your age. But first of all just get a full mouth x-ray done as that would be a guide before proceeding with the treatment. You can visit an orthodontist or a braces specialist and get the treatment started for you.

Hello there! Braces will be an excellent choice to get your teeth aligned. Yes, you can get it done at 30 since there is no upper age limit for braces. Considering your profession, ceramic braces or aligners will suit you as they have more esthetic appeal than metal braces. The duration is 14 to 18 months.
Next Steps
Visit your nearest Orthodontist for clinical examination and treatment planning.
You will need few x-rays to begin with, for the doc to study your jaw bone and dentofacial alignment.
1. Orthopantamogram (OPG)
2. Lateral cephalogram
Health Tips
Since the treatment is close to 18 months of commitment, I would recommend you to choose an Orthodontist near you, just so you can effortlessly visit for monthly appointments. Because delayed or skipped appointments can increase overall treatment duration. If monthly commitment is not suitable, you can choose aligners. All the best and take care!
