Comprehensive Treatment -One Phase Treatment

Orthodontic treatment can be successful at any age, and adults especially appreciate the benefits of a beautiful smile. Modern advances in technology and treatment methods have more men and women than ever interested in orthodontics. In fact, one of every five patients in orthodontic treatment is over 21. If you have always wanted straighter teeth, there has never been a better time to begin your journey toward healthier teeth, a better bite, and a more stunning smile! 

 Adult orthodontic treatment is similar to treatment in adolescents, but there are some differences. Adults may have some existing breakdown or loss of their teeth and bone that supports the teeth and may require gum and dental treatment in conjunction with orthodontics. Also, more frequent cleanings at the family dentist’s office are often required to maintain healthy gums and teeth.  The appearance of braces may be a concern for some adults. Dr. Lisa P. Howard strives to bring you the latest in technology and options in orthodontic appliances. Options such as Invisalign, Incognito and Clarity Smartclips as alternatives to traditional metal braces. Dr. Howard will work closely with you to identify which solution is best for your individual smile and needs.
