Today, more than 30% of orthodontic patients are over 18 years old. Crooked teeth, improper bite, overcrowding and “buck teeth” are being corrected in many people, regardless of age. The major difference between kids orthodontic and adult orthodontic treatment is that the adult bones are no longer growing.

​

New dental technology has made the process easier and more effective than ever. Better bonding techniques, lighter, less conspicuous wires, miniaturized or clear appliances and even “invisible” braces and Invisalign® have all encouraged adults to seek orthodontic treatment.

 

Simply put, it is one of the best investments you can make in your appearance and your health.
