Orthodontics is not just for kids......

       Orthodontic treatment for adults is becoming much more common. In fact, the number of adults seeking orthodontic treatment has climbed 24 percent since 1996! More adults than ever are realizing that braces are not just for kids, and can help improve the esthetics and health of a smile of any age! In todays society, appearance matters and can help make the difference between getting a job or a promotion, therefore adults are choosing wisely to invest in a straight and beautiful smile.

 Adult patients come to us considering orthodontic treatment for some of the following common reasons:

• Crowded or spaced teeth, sometimes as a result of tooth decay or gum disease

• Pain or pressure from crooked teeth or a misaligned jaw

• A bad bite or malocclusion, causing teeth to fit together incorrectly or causing excessive wear

Most of all though, adult patients come to our office seeking a healthier mouth and a more confident smile! Orthodontic treatment at our office can be successful at any age, and adults especially can appreciate the benefits of a beautiful smile.

As an adult patient, we recognize that you have different needs than our younger patients, and we will work with you to ensure you receive the most appropriate treatment and that your needs are met with understanding and respect from us. In addition, we offer may treatment options that are more discreet than traditional braces. These include: Invisalign, Lingual braces (invisible braces on the inside of the teeth), and clear braces.
