Step 1
We assess your existing smile and discuss your goals. While younger patients have teeth and bones that are still growing, older patients have permanent teeth in place, and we consider the entire facial appearance when creating the smile design.

Step 2
You’ll come in for your braces to be placed – the teeth are prepped, and the braces are adhered to your teeth. We’ll do our best to make sure you’re comfortable during the entire process and will let you know what to expect before we even begin.

Step 3
Once you have your braces, we’ll discuss how to best care for your teeth and answer any questions you may have. Every few weeks, you’ll come in for an adjustment so that your teeth gradually move to their desired position.
Once your teeth are straightened, we’ll safely remove your braces, and you can enjoy your new and improved smile! Post-appointment care is easy to maintain, and the orthodontist will walk you through this.

Should adults get braces?
Adults should get braces if they’re unhappy with the alignment of their teeth or have a misaligned jaw.
Braces help improve the beauty and function of teeth, including improved speech and bite. If left untreated, misaligned teeth may cause dental hygiene problems, tooth decay, pain, and low confidence.
To be a candidate for adult braces, you must have healthy teeth, gums, and jawbone.
Some age-related issues to consider include tooth decay, gum disease, and bone loss. If there’s an oral problem, then the issue must be fixed before treatment to prep the mouth for braces.
