Orthodontic treatment can be successful at any age, and adults especially appreciate the benefits of a beautiful smile. In our office almost 50%of our patients are adults.
Orthodontic treatment as an adult can greatly improve ones self esteem and ability to improve on one’s oral health. Malaligned teeth can contribute to periodontal break down, decay, excessive wear on tooth surfaces and even headaches and jaw pain (TMJ/TMD).
New technologies have greatly reduced discomfort and frequency of office visits. Clear braces and Invisalign and lingual braces have also helped make treatment more esthetic so patients of all ages can benefit from treatment.
