Orthodontics for Adults
Almost 40% of our patients are adults who want to improve their appearance and the health of their teeth through orthodontic treatment. We use a variety of dental appliances to create beautiful, healthier smiles, at any age by:
- Straightening crooked teeth
- Aligning the upper and lower jaws
- Improving dental function and facial profiles
Treatment Timeline & Technology
While the treatment time line varies from person to person, adult orthodontic treatment usually takes 18 to 30 months. We use the latest technologies to ensure that your treatment is as comfortable, effective and efficient as possible. There are many options, including:
- Traditional metal braces (silver or gold)
- Clear ceramic braces
- Invisalign® or removable clear plastic aligners
- Lingual / hidden braces
Treatment Benefits
Correcting misaligned teeth and jaws not only improves your appearance, it can prevent gum disease, bone loss, tooth decay, wear of the tooth enamel and surfaces, headaches and jaw joint pain.
