Adult Treatment

Teeth can be straightened and a smile improved at any age! Today, more and more adults are choosing to get the orthodontic treatment they didn’t get as children. So long as your teeth and gums are healthy, we can improve your smile.

Adult orthodontic treatment provides the same benefits as treatment at a younger age ...

• Enhanced appearance
• Improved self-esteem
• Improved health of gums
• Prevention of gum and bone loss, tooth decay
• Prevention of abnormal wear of tooth enamel
• Easing of head, neck and jaw pain
• Prevention or easing of TMJ/TMD (temporomandibular joint dysfunction)

The great news for our adult patients is that new technology and techniques make braces even more comfortable and affordable. New appliances and techniques shorten treatment times, decrease the frequency of visits and may even make it nearly impossible to tell you’re wearing braces. Your options include traditional metal braces, clear and tooth-colored braces, even clear aligners for mild alignment needs.

During your initial examination, we’ll be able to determine which treatment options are best for you and your orthodontic problems. We’ll also discuss fully your treatment plan, expected length of treatment and the approximate cost.

Limited Orthodontic Treatment

We provide short-term, limited treatment in situations in which a patient is unwilling to undergo comprehensive orthodontic treatment. Limited treatment, using braces or removable appliances, can affect minor tooth movement to enhance a smile or to position a tooth prior to the placement of an implant or bridge.
