Adult Braces in Arlington, Texas.
Orthodontic treatment can be successful at any age and adults especially appreciate the benefits of a beautiful smile. One of every four patients in our orthodontic practice is over 21, so you will not be alone!
Adult patients today have many aesthetic options available to them, aside from the traditional metal appliances. Clear brackets or clear aligners can be used for many patients. The latest in orthodontic technology and innovation, iBraces is a completely invisible appliance system that is precisely manufactured for the individual patient.
Occasionally, jaw surgery is required for adult orthodontic patients because their jaw discrepancies need to be corrected in order to correct the patient's bite. Adults also may have experienced some breakdown or loss of their teeth and bone that supports the teeth and may require periodontal treatment before, during, and/or after orthodontic treatment. Bone loss can also limit the amount and direction of tooth movement that is advisable.
