Orthodontic Treatment for Adults

Beautiful, Healthy Smiles for Adults in the Shuswap

Teeth can be straightened at any age. Just because you didn't get orthodontic treatment as a child or teenager, it doesn't mean you've missed your opportunity!

Orthodontic treatment with braces or Invisalign knows no upper age limit – both can be as effective for adults as they are for children and teens.

For adults that have been living with misalignments and bite problems since childhood, orthodontic treatment can have a life-changing effect.

Having straighter teeth and correcting a bad bite can improve the appearance of your smile, of course, but it can also positively impact your oral health. Straighter teeth are easier to clean, and less prone to chips and cracks. Improving your bite can help make chewing and even speaking easier and more comfortable.

Whether you didn't get the treatment you needed as a kid, or you did but your teeth have since shifted back out of position, adult orthodontic treatment can resolve the issue.

Looking for a Confidence Boost

A straight, symmetrical smile can do wonders for your self esteem. If you're looking to smile and speak with greater confidence, orthodontics can help.
