Adult Orthodontics
Adult Orthodontics
Crooked, crowded, or shifting teeth aren't just a concern for teens. Many adults seek orthodontic treatment to address bite problems, tooth movement that happens naturally over time, or to finally complete treatment they didn't pursue earlier in life. At 1st Family Dental, our orthodontists work with adult patients to plan treatment that fits both their dental needs and daily life.
Treatment Options
- Clear Aligners — Invisalign trays scanned, simulated and tracked digitally, offering a discreet way to shift teeth gradually.
- Braces — traditional fixed appliances for correcting bite and alignment issues.
- Temporary Anchorage Devices — small orthodontic anchors that help manage more complex tooth movements.
- Accelerated Treatment — techniques designed to help shorten overall time in braces or aligners.
- Retainers — appliances to help hold teeth in their corrected position after active treatment.
Planning Your Smile
- iTero Element Scanner — digital 3D impressions replace messy putty and let you preview your projected smile before starting Invisalign.
- Digital Smile Simulation — a look at your potential result before treatment begins, helping you understand what to expect.
