Braces are not the same as they used to be. Advances in orthodontic care allow for orthodontists to treat patients using more effective and efficient techniques. Some of these treatment options make getting braces in Elmhurst easier than you might have thought. We offer a full range of treatments for people with a wide variety of orthodontic issues. In our office, we make it fun to get braces. We provide a comfortable environment and take the time to answer all of the questions that you have about caring for your teeth and how to handle braces.
Braces are used to treat overbites, under-bites, and cross-bites. If one or more of your child’s teeth are not coming in properly, braces may help. You might be surprised to learn that braces are not just for kids. In our orthodontics practice, we treat adults of all ages. Your teeth can shift even when you are in your 40s or 50s. It is not unusual for a person who had a round of braces 40 years ago to need an orthodontic update because of some shifting.
You might also need orthodontic work after wisdom tooth extraction or if you had to have one or more of your other teeth extracted. If you experienced an injury to the mouth, it might have caused some shifting of your teeth. People with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders might also benefit from getting braces. Many adults come to us for a first round of treatment to correct issues that were not attended to when they were kids. No matter what your need, our compassionate and professional orthodontists and assistants are ready to help.
