Did you know…you can straighten your teeth at any age?

Braces aren’t just for kids anymore. Today, adults are also reaping the rewards of straighter, healthier smiles with Orthodontic treatment.

At Lane Cove Orthodontics many of our patients are adults. Adult patients can successfully straighten crooked teeth with Orthodontic treatment – whether that be with Invisalign ‘invisible’ aligners or Modern Braces.

Many adults are initially put off Orthodontic treatment by the thought of a ‘mouthful of metal’ and pain. Don’t Be! Modern Braces are much more refined and less intrusive than they have ever been before.

No more ‘train tracks’, bulky metal brackets or sharp wires. As Orthodontics become more and more advanced, the types of treatment available get better and more beneficial for patients. Many forms of
treatment are virtually invisible and no one will even know you are wearing them, unless you tell. The materials used are stronger, less intrusive and can create better and faster results.

It is never too late to begin Orthodontic treatment. Braces are becoming more and more popular amongst adults and we regularly treat patients over 50 years of age. In fact some jaw problems can continue until all growth ceases and can only be dealt with in the adult years. Some severe situations cannot always be corrected with braces alone. In such cases, Orthodontic treatment combined with
jaw surgery may achieve the dramatic improvements desired.

Orthodontic treatment at later stages in life can dramatically improve your personal appearance and self-image. All of our adult patients agree – it is never too late to improve your best asset – your smile. It is the very best investment you can make in yourself.
