For Adults
Orthodontic treatment can be successful at any age and adults especially appreciate the benefits of a beautiful smile. One of every three patients in orthodontic treatment is over 18. Jaw surgery is more often required for adult orthodontic patients because their jaws are not growing. Adults also may have experienced some breakdown or loss of their teeth and bone that supports the teeth and may require periodontal treatment before, during, and/or after orthodontic treatment. Bone loss can also limit the amount and direction of tooth movement that is advisable.
Treatment advances such as Suresmile 3-D imaging, and the Damon System have made receiving orthodontic treatment and braces as an adult easier, more efficient, and more comfortable than ever.
