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. 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, 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. Your options may
include metal braces, translucent braces or transparent aligners that
can be worn at night to improve mild 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.
