Adult Orthodontics
Many people think that orthodontics is only for children and teenagers. Not true! Orthodontics can be effective at any age. This year, we have 10 patients who are over 60 years of age!
Treatment protocols may be slightly different between adults and children, but many adults are now undergoing orthodontic treatment to improve their health and appearance.
Almost half of the patients in Dr. Thomas’ practice are adults! The Damon system we use apply's gentle pressure that our adult patients really enjoy. We hear all the time: "Wow, this is not nearly as bad as I thought it would be".
Thanks to the Damon System, it's possible to provide treatment that is far shorter in duration than ever before. Treatment can also be completed with fewer appointments, leaving you more time to do all of the other things in your busy life.
Invisalign is a fabulous way to straighten your teeth without having to have braces. Dr. Thomas is a certified provider of Invisalign Appliances. Invisalign provides the ultimate in cosmetic orthodontic correction of the teeth without braces for those whose bites are not too severe.
