Orthodontics for Adults

There is a growing trend for adults and parents to finally seek the orthodontic treatment they have always wanted. It’s your turn now! Orthodontics is no longer just for teens as our society is realizing the benefits of a beautiful smile at any age. We have entered an era where one out of every five patients is over 21, and with an increasing population of centenarians, we are now seeing patients who are well into their 70’s and 80’s.

While adult orthodontics is on the rise it can sometimes be very challenging as adults are no longer growing, and they usually have more dental and periodontal problems than teens. These additional challenges may require consults or appointments from other dental specialists. Thankfully, however, some of our new treatment modalities and techniques allow us to treat these difficult cases more safely and efficiently. If you have been contemplating orthodontic treatment, a free consultation with Family Orthodontics will help you determine if orthodontic treatment is right for you.
