Beautiful, healthy smiles are possible for almost everyone.

The process of tooth movement remains the same in adults as in children. There are great benefits to adult orthodontics, and now it is easier than ever to achieve better and faster results

Adults 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. Let the doctor know if you have taken or are taking medications for osteoporosis (Actonel, Boniva, Fosamax, etc.). These medications can limit the amount of tooth movement possible.
