Adults with Braces | Kupiec Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry

Adults with Braces
Adults with braces typically see better results from orthodontic treatment. Who says braces are just for kids? Crooked, crowded teeth can affect your self-confidence, as well as cause tooth decay, gum disease, tooth loss, and abnormal tooth wear. Without orthodontic treatment, these problems will only get worse.
In addition to serving children and teens, we also provide orthodontic services for adults. Now it’s possible to get the smile you’ve always wanted at any age! We offer multiple braces options to fit your individual needs, including traditional braces, ceramic braces, or Invisalign® clear aligners.
With Invisalign, we can use a series of computer-generated clear overlay templates, or aligners, to gradually move your teeth into their correct positions as subtly as possible.
Not only are the aligners invisible, they are also removable, so you can easily eat, drink, brush, and floss as needed. The aligners are comfortable and have no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment. This system is available to teen and adult patients with certain orthodontic bite problems.
Many adults with braces today report successful orthodontic treatment and a long-lasting, beautiful smile later in life. In fact, many say they wish they hadn’t waited so long to start! Contact us now to schedule an appointment and change your smile today.

Cleanings | Kupiec Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry

Cleanings | Kupiec Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry

cleanings
Keeping up with your child’s routine exams and cleanings prevents tooth decay, gum disease, bad breath, and stained teeth. Our pediatric dentists will look at your child’s teeth and gums to check for these and other problems. They may also take digital or traditional x-rays to check beneath the surface of the teeth and gums.
A periodontal exam is also necessary to ensure the gums and bones are healthy. If your child has tooth decay or gum disease, our pediatric dentists will explain how to improve brushing and flossing habits. In some cases, they may recommend antibiotics or additional dental treatments.
