Do I Need Airway Ortho Treatment?
Adult Orthodontics
It's never too late for a beautiful smile!
Are you wondering if age is a factor in determining if you are a candidate for braces? Our office has successfully treated patients in their 70's. Your age is not a consideration for orthodontic treatment as healthy teeth can be moved at any age. Upon completion of orthodontic treatment, many of our adult patients express to us how much they appreciate the benefits of a beautiful, healthy smile. A beautiful smile will boost your self-esteem, enhance your dental and overall health, and can help prevent periodontal bone loss, destruction of tooth enamel, and TMJ dysfunction.
50% of our patients are adults and 100% have airway / sleep apnea issues.
Good diagnostics are key. Some patients just need a consultation to steer them in the direction of better sleep and better health. Nasal breathing and tongue space are key.
Choices of treatment are in combination with a whole health approach. This may include recommendations to other providers, coaching on lifestyle, and orthodontics with traditional braces, MARPE expansion, aligners with sleep appliances, removable appliances, orthodontic treatment in combination with jaw surgery, or any combination of the above.
