Adult Treatment

Smiling adult braces

Change your smile, change your life!

We firmly believe that it’s never too late to achieve a beautiful, healthy smile. In fact, the American Association of Orthodontists states that one in four orthodontic patients is over the age of 21. Many adults are choosing to receive treatment because they understand the importance of maintaining their health, and they want to feel better about their appearance. Adults everywhere are taking advantage of the opportunity to receive orthodontic care, and now you can too.

Orthodontic treatment is not only used to augment the appearance of your smile by esthetically aligning the teeth; it serves to improve the general health of the teeth and gums as well. By seeking orthodontic treatment as an adult, you can potentially decrease the occurrence of severe tooth decay, gum and bone loss, irregular wear of the tooth enamel, and temporomandibular joint pain or TMD. Orthodontic treatment at later stages in life can also dramatically improve your self-esteem through the positive development of your personal appearance.

Why should you consider orthodontic treatment?

Straight teeth are healthy teeth — Teeth that are properly aligned are easier to keep clean with flossing and brushing, and may help prevent other health problems.

A beautiful, straight smile builds confidence — Orthodontic treatment can help boost your self-confidence, giving you a better quality of life and the freedom to smile without holding back!

Mouths left untreated can cause problems in the future — Not receiving orthodontic treatment when it’s needed can create long-term health issues costing you more in the end.

Types of Braces

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 to improve mild cases of misaligned teeth.
