Common reasons why adults consider orthodontic treatment:

Crowded or Spaced Teeth: Difficulty flossing can lead to decay or gum disease.
Shifting After Previous Treatment: Teeth moving over time because retainers weren’t worn.
Bite Misalignment: Pain in the jaw or uneven wear on teeth due to a poor bite.
Aesthetic Improvement: Wanting a more confident smile for social or professional reasons.

Treatment options for adults

Today’s orthodontic treatment options offer a variety of braces and appliances that are comfortable, aesthetic, and customized to meet your needs. Types of braces include:

Orthodontics for Teens

You’ve just heard the three words that every teen dreads: “YOU NEED BRACES!”

Braces! What now?

Getting braces is a rite of passage! Your teen can still play sports (with a mouthguard) and play instruments. We’ll show them how to brush and floss around their new hardware, and they can customize their look with different colored bands at every visit.

How long will I have to wear braces?

The amount of time it takes to treat your smile with braces depends on two key factors:
What needs correction: While it may take one patient only 12 months to complete treatment, it may take another patient 24 months. Treatment times can vary depending on how quickly your body responds and how much work is needed to give you the show-stopping smile you expect.

YOU! Your willingness to use the appliances your orthodontist gives you plays a major role in the length of time it takes to complete your treatment. Always remember to take care of your braces and appliances; this truly will help make your treatment shorter!

Orthodontics for Children

While there is no exact age for children to begin orthodontic treatment, the American Association of Orthodontists recommends visiting the orthodontist around age seven. By this age, most children have a mix of baby teeth and adult teeth, making it easier for the orthodontist to diagnose and correct tooth and jaw problems sooner and without surgery.

Early treatment allows your orthodontist to:

Create more space for crowded teeth.
Avoid the need for permanent tooth extractions later in life.
Correct and guide the growth of your child’s jaw to help the permanent teeth come in straight.

Here are a few things to look for that may mean your child needs to see an orthodontist:

Early or late loss of baby teeth.
Crowded front teeth.
A hard time chewing or biting food.
Mouth breathing.
Finger or thumb sucking.
Crowded, misplaced, or blocked teeth.

Please contact our practice to schedule an appointment for an orthodontic evaluation. Early treatment now will give your child a healthy, beautiful smile for the future.
