Think you are too old for orthodontics? Think again! Explore the unique benefits and options for adult patients.
Many Adults Are Getting Orthodontic Treatment
Your smile is the first thing other people notice about you. Do you love your smile?We’re experts at providing orthodontics to patients of all ages, even adults. We provide an assortment of aesthetic adult braces and clear aligners for patients who’d like to discreetly straighten their smile. You’re never too old to benefit from orthodontic treatment. We're seeing more and more adult orthodontic patients these days, and it's not hard to figure out why.
Looking Good
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 on the tooth enamel and surfaces, headaches and jaw joint (TMJ/TMD) pain.
Your Teeth Can Shift
Believe it or not, your teeth don’t stop moving in adolescence. Teeth that seemed straight and aligned in youth could have shifted later in life. This can lead to jaw pain, trouble brushing, or a smile you’re unhappy with.
Maintaining Dental Health
If you leave misaligned teeth untreated, you may end up with other dental problems such as tooth decay and gum disease. You may also notice difficulty chewing or abnormal wear on the surface of your teeth.
