Adult Orthodontic Treatment

Today, orthodontic treatment is a viable option for almost any adult and one in five orthodontic patients is an adult. You’ll be pleased to learn that orthodontic treatment will fit in with your current lifestyle.

The new techniques and appliances we use greatly reduce discomfort levels, decrease the frequency of visits, shorten treatment time and may allow you to choose from several options. Your options may include metal braces, translucent braces or transparent aligners that can be worn at night to improve mild cases of misaligned teeth. As many of our adult patients would say, it’s never too late to have a beautiful smile!

Imagine the smile you really want – at any age.

Your adult orthodontic problem may still be correctable. That’s because orthodontic forces move teeth the same way for a 40-year-old as a 10-year-old. Associated Orthodontists can help you achieve the straight, attractive, confident smile you’ve always wanted.

We offer several esthetically acceptable braces for adults, including Invisalign “invisible” aligners. Invisalign is a state-of-the-art alternative to traditional braces that can give you a straighter smile without metal appliances. With Invisalign, a series of clear, removable, custom-made aligners gradually move teeth just like braces do. Invisalign can benefit both adults and mature teens and address many problems, including:

 
   

• Teeth-crowding • Crooked teeth • Gaps
• Overbite, deepbite & buckteeth • Space closure
• Relapse of previous orthodontic treatment

So if you have avoided orthodontic care because you think you’re too old for braces or your smile is beyond help, talk to Associated Orthodontists.
