Orthodontic treatment can be successful at any age and adults especially appreciate the benefits of a beautiful smile.
One of every five patients in orthodontic treatment is over 21.
Jaw surgery is more often required for adult orthodontic patients because their jaws are not growing.
Adults also 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.

Using gradual force, clear aligners gently move teeth into alignment without the use of metal wires or brackets.
Clear aligners are made with very strong plastic material that is fabricated specifically to fit the patient's teeth.
As treatment progresses, the patient switches through a series of aligners, each one bringing the teeth closer to their correct alignment.
It is recommended that the patient wear the aligners for twenty hours each day.
New aligners are switched out approximately every two weeks.
