Braces aren’t just for kids anymore! Tooth alignment can be changed at any age if your gums and bone structure are healthy. Eckels Orthodontics offers a variety of treatments that are designed for different age groups – including adults. It's never too late to have a beautiful smile!
Orthodontic treatment at later stages in life can dramatically improve your personal appearance and self-esteem. Improving the health of your teeth and gums is equally important. Misaligned teeth or a bad bite can contribute to gum and bone loss, tooth decay, abnormal wear of the tooth enamel and surfaces, headaches and jaw joint (TMJ/TMD) pain.
Good news! Eckels Orthodontics offers the latest techniques and appliances available in orthodontics today. The newer appliances we use greatly reduce discomfort levels, decrease the frequency of visits, and may shorten treatment time. There are many treatment options available in orthodontics today. Your options may include metal, gold, and ceramic (translucent) braces or Invisalign transparent aligners.
During the initial examination, we will be able to determine the best possible treatment for your individual needs. During this initial examination, we can outline the treatment plan, time of treatment expected and the approximate cost.
A large percentage of our patients are adults, and they agree that it’s never too late to improve their greatest asset – their smile.
