Orthodontic treatment can be successful at any age, and adults especially appreciate the benefits of a beautiful smile. One of every four patients in our practice is over 21. Yes, over 25% of our patients are adults.

Age is not a factor in orthodontic care. The biological process of tooth movement is the same in both adults and children. In fact, it's the condition of a person's teeth, gums, and supporting bone that is the most important element in deciding whether or not to begin treatment.

Adults can often benefit from both orthodontic treatment and cosmetic dentistry. Our office works closely with referring dentists to coordinate their patients' cosmetic and restorative treatment with orthodontic care.

Our office works closely with periodontists and oral surgeons for patients who are periodontally compromised or patients requiring orthognathic surgery.
