Orthodontic Treatment for Adults

Braces are for adults, too! In many instances, we’re treating parents and their children at the same time. With today’s technological advances, improvements can be made to your smile at any age. Although an attractive smile is a pleasant “side effect,” orthodontic treatment also has numerous health benefits.

Straight teeth are less prone to decay, gum disease, and injury. They also collect less plaque, a colorless, sticky film composed of bacteria, food and saliva. Orthodontic problems can cause abnormal wear of tooth surfaces and may worsen with time.

Today’s orthodontic methods are also less painful and less disruptive to your daily life than they were when we were kids. Following your initial consultation, we will be able to discuss treatment plan options that best suit your needs and preferences. Options include traditional metal braces, clear braces, removable appliances, and invisalign.
