Adolescent/Adult

Ages 12-13 is when most children will have all of their permanent teeth in place. This is when crooked teeth, spacing and bite problems can be easily treated. Children at this age are still growing, and orthodontists can take advantage of “growth spurts” while correcting the bite or jaw discrepancies. We offer braces and Invisalign as options for treatment. A family will typically let us know what is both best for their child and which option makes sense for their busy schedules.

More adults are seeking orthodontic treatment today than ever. In fact, about 25% of our practice are adults, ages 25-85. We often treat adults who had braces as a child and just need minor realignment and also those who have never had treatment, (and now they can!) Most of our adult patients are interested in a more esthetically pleasing look which with either Invisalign® or LightForce braces.
