More than 1.3 million people begin orthodontic treatment each year, and one out of every four of them is over the age of 18.

While it may seem we are focused on children, many of our patients are adults. Technological advances in treatment and equipment and new aesthetic options make it easier and more practical for more adults to benefit from orthodontic treatment.

While orthodontics can have great cosmetic benefits, many adults do not realize that well-aligned and properly fitting teeth (the bite or occlusion) may also enhance their ability to keep their teeth for a lifetime.

Today’s braces are more cosmetically pleasing and more comfortable than appliances of the past. Treatment time is now minimized and you can choose the treatment approach that best suits your lifestyle, stainless-steel braces or invisible aligners. Ask us if you are a candidate for invisible aligners.
