Adult Orthodontics

"My only regret is that I did not do this sooner."

We hear this statement often.

Perhaps you are interested in transforming your smile to build self-confidence and/or prevent future dental issues.

Orthodontics is not just for children. Our adult Patients often seek orthodontic treatment for one or both of the following reasons:

1. Concern about the appearance of their smile and the desire to improve their image and self-confidence.
2. Concern about excessive wear of their teeth.

Improve self-confidence...

Whether at home, work, or in social settings, your smile is one of the first things people notice about you. You notice your smile as well. When you feel embarrassed or self-conscious about your teeth, it shows in your smile and how you interact with others.

The transformation of a smile is often a life-changing experience...

We have the privilege of watching the smiles of our adult Patients transform during the course of their treatment. At the time of the initial consult, some are even hesitant to smile for clinical photos. These are the very same Patients who share wonderful gains in self-confidence and satisfaction in their personal and professional lives. At the end of the transformation, the constant, underlying concern about the way their smile appears to other is gone--and replaced by a beautiful smile that reflects their beauty and confidence.

Preventing costly future dental problems...

Besides great smile improvement, orthodontics can slow or stop excessive wear of the teeth, by correcting improper alignment and bite problems. Malocclusions and "deep bites" can cause significant wear of the teeth, and other than aesthetic changes, is the number one reason for middle-aged men and women to seek orthodontic care. Braces can be, and frequently are, also used in combination with a dental restorative treatment plan to enhance the result and achieve corrections restorative treatment alone isn't capable of.

The technological advances in orthodontic treatment in recent years give adult patients more options than ever before, such as heat-activated titanium archwires for more comfort, and aesthetic brackets that work faster and are much less obvious than older versions. Remember kids with headgear from your past? At Warford Orthodontics, headgear is no longer, and has been replaced with more modern techniques.
