Orthodontic TreatmentTreatment for adults

Although orthodontic treatment mainly involves children, a large number of adult patients today are part of an orthodontic practice.

It is estimated that over 25% of a practices’ patients are comprised of adult patients. Some reasons for this are the fact that teeth tend to shift with age, where some adults may find their teeth to become more crooked as they get older, or teeth have shifted years after having had orthodontic treatment.

Other adults simply never had the opportunity to have treatment growing up as a child. Some adults require orthodontic treatment only as part of an interdisciplinary treatment plan (e.g. uprighting tilted teeth for restorative purposes).

Dear Dr J and team. Thank you for creating a perfect smile and bite. And that after 41 years. I dreaded orthodontic treatment, being an adult and all, but you made the process comfortable and worthwhile.

I just wanted to let you all know I’m engaged to the first guy I kissed with braces! I hope I’m a good story for all the adults who are hesitant about getting braces. Life changing I tell you.

Lots of love, Helen
