Braces for Adults (Adult Orthodontic Treatment)

It’s never too late to have that beautiful, healthy smile you’ve always wanted. 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 bit can contribute to gum and bone loss, tooth decay, abnormal wear of the tooth enamel and surfaces, headaches and jaw joint pain (TMJ/TMD).

Good News!! The new techniques and appliances we use greatly reduce discomfort levels, decrease the frequency of visits and shorten treatment time. With today’s orthodontic technology we offer a variety of options that can fit into your lifestyle such as metal or clear braces, Invisalign®, SureSmile® or iBraces (braces placed on the inside of your teeth).

According to the American Association of Orthodontists, the rate of toothlessness has decreased, over recent decades. Traditionally, our great grandparents lost their teeth at about age 40. Presently, a 25-year-old patient can expect to keep their teeth for another 75 years. Having a bad bite can cause teeth to wear down more quickly; another reason to ensure your teeth are properly aligned and well-maintained throughout your adult years.

A large percentage of our patients are adults, and they agree that it’s never too late to improve their greatest asset- their smile. Call today for a complimentary exam and have that beautiful, healthy smile you’ve always dreamed of!
