Adult Treatment

Orthodontic treatment is not just for kids! Adults are seeking orthodontic treatment now more than ever. Over one third of Dr. Legler’s patients are adults who want to improve their smile and correct their bite. An incorrect bite can cause excessive wear of the teeth, abnormal function of the jaw joints and soreness while chewing.

Technological advances in the field of orthodontics have created many new options for adults. Braces are now much more esthetic and easy to wear for most adult’s busy lifestyles. Patients can choose from clear or porcelain braces; Invisalign, which are clear plastic aligners; or iBraces, which are custom made braces worn on the tongue side of the teeth. Also, the wires used today decrease treatment time while creating a more comfortable therapy. We have many adult patients who are excited to have the smile they’ve wanted for years!

Invisalign is the clear way to straighten teeth without braces, using aligners. Aligners are removable and virtually invisible, which means you can straighten your teeth without anyone knowing; and you can still eat and drink what you want. Also, you can brush and floss normally to maintain healthy gums and teeth; and there are no wires, metal or brackets to cause mouth abrasions.

Many of our patients had never considered traditional braces but are now happily and comfortably improving their smiles with Invisalign.

HOW DOES INVISALIGN WORK?

• Wear each set of Aligners for about two weeks.
• Remove only to eat, drink, brush and floss.
• Your teeth will move gradually each week.
• Visit us every four to eight weeks.
• Best of all, your total treatment time averages only six to 15 months.
