Adult Treatment
|
A significant and growing group in our practice is adults. Now making up over
25% of active patients we take pride in helping adults achieve that beautiful
smile they have always wanted. Or maybe you had braces as a teenager and have
lost some of the progress made back then. We are here to help and hope adults
feel comfortable in our free-wheeling (but still mature) office atmosphere. Orthodontic treatment at later stages in life can dramatically improve your personal appearance and self-esteem. Improving the health of your teeth and gums is equally important. Crooked teeth and a bad bite can contribute to gum and bone loss, tooth decay, abnormal wear of the tooth enamel, headaches and jaw joint (TMJ/TMD) pain. Good news! The new techniques and appliances we use greatly reduce discomfort levels, decrease the frequency of visits, shorten treatment time and may allow you to choose from several options. Your options may include metal braces, translucent braces or transparent aligners that can be worn at night to improve mild cases of misaligned teeth. During your New Patient examination we will be happy to explain the advantages and disadvantages of your various treatment options and help you choose the best route to achieving the smile of your dreams. |
