Adult Orthodontic Treatment
Orthodontics is not just for kids! Tooth alignment can be changed at any age if your gums and bone structure are healthy. We offer a variety of treatments that are designed for different age groups – including adults. A new smile can begin today.
Orthodontic treatment in adult stages of life can dramatically improve your personal appearance, job advancement, and self-esteem. Improving the health of your teeth and gums is equally important. Crooked teeth and a bad bite can contribute to gum and bone loss, tooth decay, abnormal wear of the tooth enamel and surfaces, headaches and jaw joint (TMJ/TMD) pain.
Good news! The new techniques and appliances we use greatly reduce discomfort levels, decrease the frequency of visits, shorten treatment time and may allow you to choose from several options. Your options may include conventional braces, clear braces, Invisalign (transparent aligners that can be worn to improve mild to moderate cases of misaligned teeth), or retainers.
During the initial examination we will be able to discuss the best possible treatment for your individual needs. We will also review the type of braces available, time of treatment expected and the approximate cost.
A large percentage of our patients are adults, and they agree that it is never too late to improve their greatest asset – their smile.
