Adults seeking orthodontic treatment often are unhappy with the appearance of their smile. Common complaints include crowded teeth, excess space between teeth, misaligned teeth, or protuded upper teeth. Your general dentist may have discussed the negative effect of crowded teeth on the health of your gums. Most dentists agree that the fit and appearance of certain crowns and bridges may be improved if your teeth are straightened first.

Orthodontic treatment for adults may range from simple therapy, to align teeth, to complex therapy, to corrected misaligned jaws and teeth. Regardless of the type of therapy, orthodontic treatment improves the alignment and support of teeth leaving them easir to clean, and therefore, more likely to last throughout a lifetime.

Today's braces are smaller, more resilient, and more comfortable to wear. You can choose between colorful braces and clear or tooth-colored braces. If a candidate, you can go with the new Invisalign. Invisalign straightens your teeth, not with brackets and wires, but with a series of clear, customized, removable appliances called aligners.
