For Adults
Orthodontic treatment can be successful at any age, and adults especially appreciate the benefits of a beautiful smile. One of every five patients in orthodontic treatment is over 21.
Dr. Milnor is a certified Invisalign specialist. This type of treatment offers individuals a change to their smile without wearing traditional braces. When you arrive for your complimentary initial consultation we will discuss if you are a candidate for this type of treatment or not.
Jaw surgery may be another treatment of choice in adult orthodontic patients because their jaws are not growing. Adults also may have experienced some breakdown or loss of their teeth and bone that supports the teeth and may require periodontal treatment before, during and/or after orthodontic treatment. Bone loss can also limit the amount and direction of tooth movement that is advisable.
