Braces aren’t just for kids. Tooth alignment can be achieved at any age if your gums and bone structure are healthy. Our office offers a variety of treatments that are designed specifically for 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 especially important as an adult, and orthodontic treatment can help. Orthodontics can improve the positions of your teeth for periodontal health, as well as prepare for the placement of crowns, bridges or implants. Crooked teeth and a bad bite can contribute to gum and bone loss, as well as abnormal and uneven wear of the teeth.
New techniques and appliances in orthodontics can greatly reduce discomfort levels, decrease the frequency of visits and shorten treatment time. You have several options to choose from including tooth-coloured ceramic braces, metal braces, and transparent removable aligners (Invisalign®).
At the initial consultation, Dr. Grubisa will assess your case, and determine the ideal treatment for you. She will also provide you with treatment options, and the information with which to make an informed decision. During this initial examination, we can outline the treatment plan, estimated treatment time and the costs involved.
A large percentage of our clinic’s patients are adults, so you will be in good company. We have a treatment room which is apart from the main clinic area so if you initially feel that you prefer some privacy please let us know. As your teeth get nicer and nicer you will certainly want to show them off to everyone else! Many of our staff are either in orthodontic treatment currently or they have had treatment as adults, so feel free to talk to them about their experience; they will agree that it’s never too late to improve a smile.
