Adult Treatment
Braces aren’t just for kids anymore. 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. In fact, a large percentage of our patients are adults, and they agree that it’s never too late to improve their greatest asset – their smile.
Orthodontic treatment at later stages in life can dramatically improve your personal appearance 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 losses, tooth decay, abnormal wear of the tooth enamel and surfaces, headaches and jaw joint (TMJ/TMD) pain.
The new techniques and appliances we use greatly reduce discomfort levels, decrease the frequency of visits and shorten treatment time. You may be able to choose from several options that include metal braces, clear ceramic braces or Invisalign (transparent aligners) that can be worn at night to improve mild cases of misaligned teeth.
