Adult Braces: The Dental Connection!

Have you ever considered having your teeth straightened but felt that you were too old?  Are you dissatisfied with your smile but don't know if braces are the answer for you?  Although orthodontic treatment was conventionally carried out for children, today, braces are a reality at any age.  Adult orthodontics is now possible and age is simply a number now! The age long myth that orthodontics cannot be done on adults is gone now and science has proven that adult orthodontics is very much possible at any age.  Straight teeth are healthy teeth.  Teeth that aren't overly crowded are easier to keep clean.  This means that adult gums will be healthier and this will diminish the chances of decay and early tooth loss.  Teeth that do not line up properly can cause excess stress on supporting bone and gum tissue.  This can lead to gum disease and the possible need for dentures.

Call our office at 918-455-0123 for an evaluation at our convenient location in Broken Arrow!  We at Thomas Family Dentistry care about your entire dental health and if you could benefit from braces to improve your smile, we will make sure that you are referred to the best orthodontic practices in our area!

God Bless,
