One in Five Orthodontic Patients is an Adult

There is nothing worse than feeling self-conscious about your smile, whether it means holding back on a grin when photos are being taken or keeping lips tightly closed during a romantic gaze. Teeth can be moved the same way for a 56 year old as they can for a 13 year old, so braces are not just for children or teens.

Dr. Farrow believes braces for adults are not always about aesthetics. Some bad bites, which can affect speaking and eating, can get worse if left untreated. If teeth are poorly aligned or if bad habits are making them move out of place, time will only make things worse.

Today, Dr. Farrow implements new technologies and space age materials used in orthodontic systems to decrease the length of treatment time and enhance the effectiveness of braces. Options like Invisalign® are available that are also extremely discrete. In addition, a lot of adult patients have missing teeth and need braces to realign them prior to getting new teeth. Invisalign® uses a series of removable, invisible aligners to straighten teeth.

Dr. Farrow and his staff can offer anyone of those options, at any age you can have a spectacular smile! If you have questions, just call Dr. Anthony Farrow’s office and we’ll be happy to explain how.
