It is not too late
There is no age limit on straightening your teeth
There’s no age limit for orthodontic treatment. Maybe you had braces as a child and your teeth have shifted. No matter what the circumstances are, Dr. Fotovat and his team are ready to help you get a smile you’ll want to show the world. Here are some reasons why you should start orthodontic treatment as an adult:
Your dental health is linked to your overall health. Crooked teeth can cause a myriad of health issues including TMJ, grinding, headaches, poor oral health, uneven wearing, and more. Dr. Fotovat and his team care about you as a whole patient. Straight teeth equal better dental and physical health.
A great smile is a confidence booster. Imagine how amazing it will feel to smile with confidence at work, social events, and for pictures. Smiling more can reduce stress and anxiety!
What treatment involves
Options, comfort and timing
Today’s orthodontic options are more low profile than ever! Dr. Fotovat and his team can recommend the perfect solution to get you the smile you want without the bulky, metal braces most people imagine. We offer In-Ovation clear brackets and Dr. Fotovat is a Diamond Invisalign provider. If Invisalign is right for you, you don’t even need brackets and wires to move your teeth! You can eat what you want, drink what you want, and smile for pictures without worrying about braces.
It’s not more painful to straighten your teeth as an adult. Many people think orthodontics hurt more when they’re older. Not so! Most patients of all ages experience some discomfort in the days following adjustments or when switching to a new Invisalign tray; however, this is typical and can be addressed simply with warm salt-water rinses or over the counter pain relief.
A beautiful smile doesn’t take years and years and years. Dr. Fotovat and his team will create a treatment plan that gets you the best, healthiest results in the least amount of time. Some cases require more time than others, but Dr. Fotovat will give you a timeline based on your complimentary consultation. The best part is, as an adult, you are more likely to adhere to the directions and advice Dr. Fotovat offers and that makes treatment time go by faster.
You’re not the only one! Almost 30% of our patients are adults.
