There’s no time like the present, and healthy teeth can be moved at any age. Orthodontic treatment can create or restore good function, and teeth that work better usually look better, too. A healthy, beautiful smile can improve self-esteem, no matter your age.

Common reasons for adults to consider orthodontic treatment:

-Bite problems, or malocclusion, causing teeth to not fit together correctly

-Crowding or spacing of the teeth, possibly causing tooth decay or gum disease

-Abnormal pain, or pressure, in the jaw that is often caused by crooked teeth

-Gum or bone loss (periodontal disease)

-Worn or missing teeth

-Incomplete orthodontic treatment as a child or teen

-To have a healthier and more confident smile
