Orthodontic treatment can be successful at any age, and adults especially appreciate the benefits of a beautiful and healthy smile. There are many additional reasons why adults choose orthodontic treatment including, a misaligned bite, incorrect spacing, jaw pain, and teeth deterioration. The main difference to consider when choosing orthodontic treatment as an adult is that the jawbone has stopped growing and could result in a possible referral to a specialist for surgery. In contrast, younger patients have a jawbone that is still developing. In fact, the American Association of Orthodontists state that one in five orthodontic patients is over the age of 21 years of age.  Many adults are choosing to receive treatments because they understand the importance of maintaining their health, and they want to feel better about their appearance. 

We also recognize that adults and children have different needs, and require a different level of attention and care.
