Adult Orthodontics and Periodontitis

Adult Orthodontics and Periodontitis


Your smile alignment plays an important role in your oral health, systemic health, and self-esteem.  Crooked teeth can be more difficult to care for and patients tend to be at a greater risk of developing periodontal diseases like periodontitis.   These serious oral health problems can damage your tooth structure and gums, sometimes resulting in tooth loss.  Adult orthodontics is a great way to prevent periodontal disease, while also improving your smile confidence.


We offer traditional braces, clear braces, and Invisalign options for adult patients at our practice.  Traditional and clear braces are excellent ways to correct bite and alignment issues.  Patients that only need to correct mild to moderate alignment issues can opt for Invisalign.  This discreet alignment option is hardly noticeable against your natural smile.  To determine the best adult orthodontic option for your smile needs, I invite you to visit our practice for a consultation.
