Adult Orthodontics
Orthodontic treatment can be successful at any age, and adults especially appreciate the benefits of a beautiful smile. One of every three patients in orthodontic treatment in our office is over 21. Adults also may have experienced some breakdown or loss of their teeth and bone that supports the teeth, and may require periodontal treatment before, during and/or after orthodontic treatment. Bone loss can also limit the amount and direction of tooth movement that is advisable. The good news is that after teeth are moved to a more comfortable and physiologic position, many existing problems may be halted and even reversed.
