Many adults believe that orthodontic treatment is something they missed out on in their teenage years. At Creekwood Dental, we’re here to tell you that’s simply not true! Adult orthodontics has become increasingly popular, with more people recognizing that a straighter smile is achievable at any age. Whether you’re 25 or 65, orthodontic treatment can transform your smile and improve your oral health.
Today’s orthodontic options are more comfortable, less noticeable, and more efficient than ever before. The clunky metal braces you might remember from childhood have evolved significantly, and alternatives like Invisalign offer nearly invisible treatment options.
Straight teeth aren’t just about esthetics. Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing your risk of gum disease and tooth decay. Many adults pursue orthodontic treatment after experiencing dental problems related to misalignment.
In today’s competitive workplace, your smile makes a significant first impression. Many of our adult patients report feeling more confident in professional settings after completing orthodontic treatment.
Some of our patients simply decide it’s finally time to address something they’ve always wanted to change. There’s tremendous satisfaction in addressing a long-standing concern and investing in yourself.
