Adult Treatment

It's never too late for a healthier, straighter smile. A growing share of orthodontic patients are adults, and the same principles that move teeth in children work at any age as long as the teeth and gums are healthy.

Benefits beyond appearance

• Teeth that are easier to clean, lowering the risk of decay and gum disease
• A more even bite that reduces abnormal wear
• Better positioning before crowns, bridges or implants

Discreet options

Many adults choose Invisalign clear aligners or tooth-colored ceramic braces, which are much less noticeable than traditional metal braces.

What's different for adults

Adult jaws are no longer growing, so some bite problems take a little longer to correct, and a few may call for a combined approach with jaw surgery. We'll coordinate with your dentist and explain every option at your complimentary consultation.
