Adult Orthodontics

A Boost in Confidence

Increased confidence can significantly improve your quality of life, extending to your social engagements, work performance, and relationships.

Oral Health Benefits

Misaligned teeth can make it a challenge to maintain proper oral hygiene, as hard-to-reach areas are difficult to brush and floss. A straight smile is easy-to-clean, lowering your risk of decay and gum disease.

More Comfort and Better Dental Function

Some patients with severe malocclusion experience regular discomfort, including soreness in their jaw, as well as difficulty chewing. Orthodontic treatment can alleviate these issues.

The doctor will apply dental cement to the front of your teeth and strategically place a bracket on each tooth.
 

The wire and rubber bands will then be attached. 

Over the next 18 to 24 months or so, you will visit your doctor every four to eight weeks. Your doctor can evaluate your progress and make necessary adjustments. 

The doctor will take impressions of your teeth, which will be used to craft custom clear aligners. 

Every one to two weeks, you will receive a new set of aligners in the series. Each set will gradually straighten your teeth. 
 

Over the next 12 to 18 months, you will visit your doctor about every six weeks to ensure that your treatment is on track.
