Braces aren’t just for kids anymore. A growing number of patients in our practice are adults. 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 at later stages in life can dramatically improve your personal appearance and self-esteem, as well as the health of your teeth and gums. 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. Recent advances in technology have allowed orthodontic appliances to become smaller and more esthetic than ever before! Your options may include metal braces, clear braces or removable transparent aligners that can be worn to improve mild cases of misaligned teeth. Ask about our new Radiance clear bracket, which is virtually un-noticeable when placed on the teeth! During the initial examination, we will be able to determine the best possible treatment for your individual needs and outline the treatment plan, time of treatment expected and the approximate cost.
A large percentage of our patients are adults, and they agree that it’s never too late to improve their greatest asset – their smile.
