For Adults

"I only wish I had gone to him (Dr. Boyd) much sooner. It would have saved us over $2000, and I would probably have had my braces on and off by now…"
Ashley K.

We treat many adult patients. If you are interested in adult braces, schedule a complimentary consultation with Dr. Boyd. We look forward to helping you start your adult orthodontic treatment.

Orthodontic treatment can be successful at any age and adults especially appreciate the benefits of a beautiful smile. One of every five patients in orthodontic treatment is over 21. Adults may have experienced some breakdown or loss of their teeth and bone that supports the teeth and may require periodontal treatment before, during, and/or after orthodontic treatment. Bone loss can also limit the amount and direction of tooth movement that is advisable. Let the doctor know if you have taken or are taking medications for osteoporosis (Actonel, Boniva, Fosamax, etc.). These medications can limit the amount of tooth movement possible.
