Did you know that adult orthodontics comprises 30% of orthodontic patients? At Hub City Orthodontics we have treated adults in every decade from 20s to 70s! It’s never too late to get the smile you’ve always wanted. Teeth can naturally shift as we age. Some adults are just looking for small touch ups or have had relapse after having braces when they were younger. Others are looking to correct larger complex problems and never had the opportunity to get braces until they were an adult. No matter the case, we are here to help you get the smile and bite you deserve.
Why do adults get orthodontic treatment?
- General alignment improvement
- Improve spacing for dental care – bridges, crowns, implants, etc.
- Fix relapse after discontinued retainer wear
- Close spacing
- Improve overbite and risk of further wear on teeth
- Create a more comfortable bite
- Jaw surgery
Treatment Options
Traditional Braces is not the only option to align teeth these days. Dr. Timothy Wilson and Dr. Dana Kiefer are both certified Invisalign providers. Invisalign is a great treatment option for adults looking for a more “invisible” approach to straighter teeth. Invisalign is a technique that uses clear aligners to straighten teeth and improve one’s bite. Most adults are Invisalign candidates, but to determine which option is best for you, schedule a FREE consultation. At this visit, the doctors will review the benefits of each treatment to determine the one that best fits your goals.
