Adult Orthodontics

At antoszOrthodontics, children aren't the only ones who can benefit from orthodontics. If you're an adult, it's not too late to correct problems such as crooked or crowded teeth, overbites, underbites, incorrect jaw position, or jaw-joint disorders.

The American Association of Orthodontists says a growing number of adults fit braces into their lifestyle. In fact, one in five orthodontic patients is an adult.

You can sing, play a musical instrument, dine out, kiss, and have your picture taken.

The AAO estimates that more than one million adults in the United States and Canada are receiving treatment from orthodontists who are members of the AAO.

The biological process involved in moving teeth is the same at any age. According to the American Dental Association, adult treatment takes a little longer than a child's treatment. Because an adult's facial bones are no longer growing, certain corrections may not be accomplished with braces alone.

At antoszOrthodontics we have and continue to treat adults with a comprehensive and health oriented focus that is designed to address your individual needs.
Many adults see Dr. Antosz because their bite has caused:

• TMJ/ Jaw Pain
• Receding gums/ bone loss
• Worn and fractured teeth
• The dental work needed after is WAY more expensive than the braces: it's best to never let it get this far
