Adult Orthodontic Treatment

Adult Orthodontics in Orange County

On average, one of every four orthodontic patients is an adult. Generally speaking, you are never too old for orthodontic treatment. At any age, eligibility for orthodontic treatment simply requires healthy teeth and gums.

Tooth alignment can be changed at any age if your gums and bone structure are healthy. We offer a variety of treatments that are designed for different age groups – including adults. A new smile can begin today.

Benefits of Adult Orthodontics

Orthodontic treatment at later stages in life can dramatically improve your personal appearance and self-esteem. Improving the health of your teeth and gums is equally important. Crooked teeth and a bad bite can contribute to gum and bone loss, tooth decay, abnormal wear of the tooth enamel and surfaces, headaches and jaw joint (TMJ/TMD) pain.

Options with Adult Orthodontics

Good news! The new techniques and appliances we use in our office in San Juan Capistrano greatly reduce discomfort levels, decrease the frequency of visits, shorten treatment time and may allow you to choose from several options. Your options may include metal braces, translucent braces or transparent aligners that can be worn at night to improve mild cases of misaligned teeth.

During the initial examination, we will be able to determine the best possible treatment for your individual needs. During this initial examination, we can outline the treatment plan, time of treatment expected and the approximate cost.
