Orthodontics for Adults

Straighter Smile. More Confidence.

For adults who may spent years being hesitant to smile openly because of misaligned teeth, orthodontic treatment can provide a positive boost to self confidence. Patients often find themselves smiling for pictures more, laughing more heartily, or even speaking up and sharing their thoughts and opinions more... all because they are more comfortable with the way they look when they smile.

Positive Impact on Whole-Body Health

Orthodontic treatment can also have a positive impact on an adults overall health, in a number of ways.

Straighter teeth are easier to clean than misaligned teeth. This can prevent problems like decay, gingivitis, gum disease and bad breath developing over time. Another benefit is that a good bite also results in less strain on the jaw muscles and joints, better chewing and better digestion – all of which help improve overall health.

And although treatment may seem expensive at the outset, it can helping you avoid costly dental procedures in the long run. For example, orthodontically corrected teeth are less likely to chip or become damaged, reducing the likelihood of costly dental work.
