 races are not just for kids anymore. Many times, in order to get the best
results, you will need braces prior to having bleaching veneers, or crowns. I had braces
as a 30 year old and it was the best thing I could have done for myself. Braces today can
be made almost invisible with clear brackets and even white wires.  If crooked teeth bother you, consider braces, regardless of your age.
Modern orthodontics encompasses a number of different treatment approaches. Very young
children can have retainers placed on their teeth to help their bite problems prior to
needing braces. In many cases, they will not need traditional braces as a result of this
interceptive treatment. Young adults and adults can benefit from newer techniques
requiring less time in braces.
Prior to considering orthodontic treatment, you should start with a complete exam at a
general dentist. The dentist should also assist in helping you choose the orthodontist
best suited for your situation. In many cases, straightening your teeth now can help
preserve your teeth for a lifetime. If you suffer from headaches, facial pain, or jaw (or
jaw joint) pain or clicking, there may be problems with your bite. Modern dentistry
provides several ways of solving these problems, many of which can be accomplished in a
single visit to our office. If your problem is more complex, braces and an orthodontist
may be called for.
