Your smile impacts both your personal and professional life, and investing in it is one of the best decisions you can make. No matter when you choose to begin, it’s never too late to create the healthy, beautiful smile you deserve.
We have been asked if there is an age limit for orthodontics. No, there is no age limit! In fact more and more adults are seeking orthodontic treatment whether it is Damon metal or clear braces or clear aligners to help align their teeth and correct any bite issues to ensure a beautiful, healthy smile.
Braces aren't just for Kids Anymore
Tooth alignment can be improved 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.
During the initial examination, the doctors will determine the best possible treatment for your individual needs. During this initial examination, they will outline a treatment plan for you. Our treatment coordinator will provide scheduling options and discuss affordable payment methods.
A large percentage of our patients are adults, and they agree that it’s never too late to improve their greatest asset – their smile.
Types of Braces
There are several types of braces treatment available, each with their own characteristics and ease for the patients.
Damon Braces
Damon braces are self-ligating appliances, meaning that instead of using elastic bands to attach the arch wire to the bracket, the brackets use a slide mechanism. This eliminates the need for elastic bands, which cause friction and can slow down treatment. With Damon braces, teeth can move into place more freely so treatment time is decreased. Damon braces are more aesthetically pleasing because the brackets are less noticeable than traditional metal brackets.
Invisalign
Invisalign is a set of custom-made clear plastic aligners, which are designed to shift your teeth into the proper position. Approximately every two weeks the patient switches to a new set of aligner trays, repeating this process until their teeth are in the correct position. Invisalign is intended to deliver the same benefits as traditional braces but the aligner trays are less noticeable, offering an aesthetic advantage. The aligners are removed for eating, brushing and flossing, and may not take as long to achieve desired results as other types of braces.
Damon Clear Braces
Same as the Damon traditional braces but these are a little bit smaller of a bracket and they’re clear. The treatment can be slightly slower but it’s a great option if you want something less noticeable and easier to manage than Invisalign.
