Adult Orthodontic Treatment And Braces

  

Today’s technology and improvements in the orthodontic industry have created a variety of options for adults who seek a beautiful, healthy smile. Tooth alignment can be changed at any age if your gums and bone structure are healthy. The days of metal braces and colored rubber bands are over! We offer a variety of treatments that are designed for different age groups – including adults. Invisalign clear aligners and Damon bracketing systems are just a few of the revolutionary options at Larson Orthodontics. A new smile can begin today.

Better late than never…

Orthodontic treatment and braces at later stages in life can dramatically improve your personal appearance and self-esteem. Improving the health of your teeth and gums is equally important. Crooked teeth and a bad bite can contribute to gum and bone loss, tooth decay, abnormal wear of the tooth enamel and surfaces, headaches and jaw joint (TMJ/TMD) pain. The new techniques and appliances we use greatly reduce discomfort levels, decrease the frequency of visits, and shorten treatment time.

Damon Braces For Adults

Young or old, male or female, the Damon System delivers amazing results.

Damon braces are based on a very unique treatment philosophy that really goes beyond just straightening teeth. Damon Orthodontists are especially trained to take even the shape of your face, your facial profile, and what you will look like into your 40s, 50s… and even beyond.

Many people see a change not just in their teeth, but also with their entire face.

  • A fuller, wider smile
  • Better facial balance and aesthetics
  • Smoother cheek contours which make narrow smiles look fuller and more inviting
  • Fewer dark triangles within the corners of your mouth
  • Straighter, less crowded & crooked teeth
  • Improved profiles…for a more youthful look at any age!

Many patients begin to see these dramatic results in as soon as 10 weeks.

When it comes to looking better, many adults today are opting for extensive—and invasive—procedures like plastic surgery and facelifts. But many people have chosen to change their looks and their lives with the Damon System.

Invisalign, A Clear Alternative To Braces For Adults

The Invisalign System is a clear, removable aligner system that busy adults can use as a subtle remedy instead of braces. Invisalign provides the best of both worlds - virtually invisible when you're wearing them, and removable when you need them to be. For these reasons, Invisalign could be the perfect solution for you.

Some adults think that they’re to old to improve their smile and have just decided it would be too much work to wear braces, but they’re wrong! Invisalign is an easy, comfortable, affordable option instead of traditional braces.

During your initial examination with Dr. Larson, we will be able to determine the best possible treatment for your individual needs. During this initial examination, we can outline the treatment plan, time of treatment expected and the approximate cost.

A large percentage of our patients are adults, and they agree that it’s never too late to improve their greatest asset – their smile.
