Adult Orthodontics
Many people don't know what to expect or what orthodontists offer. This page will help you learn about our services and how we can help.
Braces aren’t just for kids anymore. Teeth 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. 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, even headaches, and sometimes 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 metal braces, translucent braces, and even transparent aligners
(see Invisalign) that can be worn to improve most cases of misaligned teeth.
During the initial examination, we will be able to determine the best possible treatment for your individual needs. During this initial examination, we can 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.
Find out about our NEW Invisalign program. A series of clear, removable appliances that can straighten your teeth.
Here is what we hear from our patients:
- "Finally, braces that don't look like braces. They're invisible."
- "No one at work even knows when I am wearing my Invisalign."
- "I can take Invisalign out to brush my teeth. My dentist loves that."
