Braces aren’t just for kids anymore. Tooth alignment can be changed at any age if your gums and bone structure are healthy. We offer a variety of treatments that are designed for different age groups – including adults. A new smile can begin today.
Orthodontic treatment at later stages in life can dramatically improve your personal appearance and self-esteem. Improving the health of your teeth and gums is equally important. Crooked teeth and a bad bite can contribute to gum and bone loss, tooth decay, abnormal wear of the tooth enamel and surfaces, headaches and jaw joint (TMJ/TMD) pain.
Good news! 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.
During the initial examination, Dr. Lee will be able to determine if the individual will be able to benefit from orthodontic treatment. If orthodontic treatment is an option, Dr. Lee will outline all possible treatment plans along with the estimated length of time and the approximate cost of each treatment plan.
About 25% of the patients treated in our office are 30 years old or older, and they agree that it’s never too late to improve their greatest asset - their smile.
