For Adults

You are never too old to wish for and achieve a perfect smile. In fact, orthodontic treatment for adults is not just for cosmetics reasons; it can significantly improve dental health and function. If your teeth and bite aren't in proper alignment, then problems such as tooth decay and excessive wear can result. This may lead to premature tooth loss even if you are properly brushing and flossing. If you think you are too old, or hate to imagine what others will think of your braces, then consider this - many adults opt for "clear" brackets, which lessens the appearance of the braces. It's possible that many of your friends and co-workers won't even notice your braces. They will, however, notice your beautiful smile when you are done with treatment!
