Questions about adults

Am I too old?

No. Teeth move at any age as long as gums and bone are healthy. Our oldest patient this year started at 68.

Can I do it in stages?

Sometimes. Fixing the front teeth only is a real option and we will quote both.

Will my insurance help?

Many adult plans exclude orthodontics. Britt checks your benefits before your consultation so you know either way.

The first consultation is free.
