Adult treatment

Braces aren't just for kids anymore. Tooth alignment can be changed at any age if your gums and bone structure are healthy. Orthodontic treatment can help boost your self-confidence, giving you a better quality of life and the freedom to smile without holding back!

Common reasons why adults are considering orthodontic treatment:

  • Desire for a healthier mouth and a more confident smile
  • A bad bite or malocclusion, causing teeth to fit together incorrectly
  • Teeth are crowded or spaced apart, possibly causing tooth decay or gum disease.
  • Patients with straighter teeth are less likely to get gum disease. Teeth that are properly aligned are easier to keep clean with flossing and brushing, and may help prevent other health problems.
  • Over time teeth has become worn down and shifted into different positions that can only be corrected with orthodontic care. Missing teeth can cause other teeth to shift and tilt, creating a bad bite and increasing the possibility of gum disease.
  • Abnormal jaw pain (TMJ disorders), or pressure that is caused by bad bite
