Adult Orthodontics
Adult Treatment
Orthodontics is not just for kids and teens anymore. In fact, 1 in every 5 patients in our practice are adults. No one is too old for orthodontic treatment. We find our adult patients especially appreciate the benefits of a beautiful smile on one’s well-being and self-confidence. Improving the health of your teeth and gums is equally important since crooked teeth and a bad bite can contribute to gum and bone loss, tooth decay, abnormal wear of the tooth enamel surfaces, headaches and jaw joint pain (TMJ/TMD).
Benefits of Adult Treatment
These include:
- Align the teeth to create a more aesthetic and beautiful smile
- Improve the ability to brush and floss, especially for crowded or overlapping lower front teeth
- Create a better or more comfortable bite and ability to chew
- Reduce excessive wear on the teeth due to grinding or poor bite
- Address missing teeth
- Close spaces between the teeth
- Jaw surgery to correct discrepancy between the upper and lower jaws.
- Correct relapse after previous orthodontic treatment due to lack of long term retainer wear
