Ortho for Adults

Although it may seem like we only treat children, adolescents and teens, many of our patients are adults.  It is estimated that approximately 1.3 million people begin orthodontic treatment each year and, surprisingly, 25% of these starts are adults.

In fact, approximately 30% of the patients in our practice are adults.

As an adult, improving the overall health of your teeth and its supporting structures with a properly aligned and functioning bite contributes to keeping your teeth for a lifetime.  Adult orthodontics can also dramatically improve your personal appearance and self-esteem with its beneficial cosmetic appeal.

Improved technological advances in the industry allow adults to undergo treatment with less discomfort, fewer visits and perhaps shorter treatment times.

Today’s braces are more cosmetically pleasing and comfortable.  Your options will include metal braces, ceramic (translucent) braces or Invisalign (transparent aligners) for you to choose from which best suits your needs.

During your initial consultation, we will be able to evaluate many parameters that will help make your decision process easier.
