Adult Treatment

Braces aren't just for kids anymore. Tooth alignment can be changed at any age if your gums and bone structure are healthy. We offer a variety of treatments that are designed for different age groups - including adults. In fact, about 40% of our patients are adults.

A new smile can begin today.

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. Crooked teeth and 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. And more recently it has been found that gum infection problems can contribute to a variety of systemic diseases, including cardiovascular problems.

Good news! The new techniques and appliances we use greatly reduce discomfort levels, decrease the frequency of visits, shorten treatment time and may allow you to choose from several options. Your options may include metal braces, ceramic braces or virtually invisible Invisalign aligners.

Invisalign is the clear alternative to braces, so you can have straight teeth without wearing conventional braces. Whether your smile needs minor improvements or more extensive adjustments, it is highly likely that Invisalign can help. The aligners are made of clear, medical grade plastic so virtually no one can tell they are being worn!

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 options, time of treatment expected and the exact cost.  Although the majority of Dr Duncan's patients are treated with the Invisalign system, not all cases are suitable.

A large percentage of our patients are adults, and they agree that it's never too late to improve their greatest asset - their smile.
