TIMELINE
Adulthood (16 and Up)
Adult orthodontics has become very popular especially with the advent of equipment that is less noticeable and more comfortable. The orthodontist's limitations at this age are mostly related to the absence of any growth. As a result, we can move the teeth to a straighter position, but should there be any major differences in jaw position or alignment, it often becomes necessary to commit the patient to a more complicated treatment regimen than just "braces". Our adult patients become true ambassadors for orthodontics as they achieve their dreams of straighter teeth.
Recently, Invisalign has come onto the scene and is gaining popularity. This is the high-tech option available only to adults with very specific orthodontic needs. We are one of the leading specialty practices in North Texas having offered Invisalign since 1999. We enjoy using this system, and we are confident in our ability to use it effectively.
