Treatment Is Safe And Healthy For Adults

Orthodontic treatment for adults is a little different than treatment for children and teens, but not much!

A full evaluation takes place before orthodontic treatment begins. This is simply to assess, address, and control issues more common to adults including periodontal disease risk, jaw disorders, gum recession, and missing, broken, or worn teeth. Other doctors and specialists may need to join in on a team effort for specific treatment.These issues rarely stop orthodontic treatment from being the very best option!They are simply part of the complete treatment plan.
