ADULT TREATMENT

Braces are not just for kids. Teeth may be moved at any age if the gums (gingiva) and bone structure are healthy. We offer a variety of treatments that are designed for different age groups, including adults. Your new smile can start today!

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 loss, tooth decay, abnormal wear of the tooth enamel and sometimes jaw joint (TMJ) discomfort.

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 metal braces, translucent braces, and even transparent aligners that can be worn to improve misaligned teeth.

A large percentage of our patients are adults, and they agree that it is never too late to improve their greatest asset- their smile! One of the joys of orthodontics is the ability to help people of all ages, from 6 to 100!
