Request Consultation
Overview
It is never too late to consider orthodontic care. Many adults choose treatment to correct crowding, close gaps, address teeth that have shifted since earlier braces, or improve how their teeth come together. Adult treatment is planned around healthy gums and bone and your existing dental work.
Who may benefit
Adults who are unhappy with how their teeth look or fit together, who have noticed teeth moving over time, or whose dentist has suggested orthodontic care before other dental work may benefit from an evaluation.
The general process
- A consultation to discuss your goals and examine your teeth and bite
- Coordination with your general dentist where needed
- A discussion of options such as clear braces, metal braces, or clear aligners
- Regular visits during treatment
- A retainer plan to help maintain results
Benefits and practical considerations
Adult teeth can be moved at any age, but treatment planning takes gum health, previous dental work, and lifestyle into account. Clear braces and clear aligners are popular with adults who prefer a less visible option.
