Adult orthodontic assessment & treatments

 Think braces are just for children and teenagers? Think again! More adults than ever are choosing orthodontic treatment to improve their smile, confidence, and dental health.  One of the most common questions we hear is, “Am I too old to straighten my teeth?” The answer is simple — no. It is never too late to achieve a healthier, straighter smile.

Straight teeth are not just about appearance. Crowded or misaligned teeth can be harder to clean, increasing the risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and uneven tooth wear. A poor bite can also contribute to jaw discomfort and headaches. Orthodontic treatment can improve the function and health of your teeth and may be recommended as part of a wider dental treatment plan.

Improving the health of your teeth and gums is important, as crooked teeth and a bad bite can contribute to gum and bone loss, tooth decay and abnormal wear of teeth enamel and surfaces. It can also contribute to headaches and jaw joint pain.
Orthodontic treatment may be part of a more comprehensive dental treatment plan to replace missing teeth or as part of other oral rehabilitation.

We offer a range of treatment options for adults, including: 

  • Traditional metal braces
  • Clear braces
  • Clear aligners

At your initial consultation, we will discuss your goals and recommend the treatment option best suited to your needs. Whether you’re looking to improve your smile, boost your confidence, or enhance your oral health, it’s never too late to start your orthodontic journey.
