Let’s Face It- Shift Happens!

Have you noticed your teeth shifting over time? Whether you lost your old retainer from childhood, or your bite has changed through the years, braces or clear aligners can help you re-align your teeth into their proper position.  The benefits of adult orthodontic treatment are not only for aesthetic reasons, they are for improved health and function. When teeth are aligned, they are easier to brush and floss, and plaque has less of an area to linger.

A lot has changed in orthodontic treatment since you may have had braces as a kid or teenager. Always Orthodontics utilizes modern technology to make the process more comfortable from start to finish! Dr. Ava has a gag-free policy, where she eliminated the need for those goopy-impressions that you recall from prior orthodontic treatment as a child.

Lots of adults often ask “Am I Too Old for Braces?”

The answer is…NO! There is no age limit to having straight teeth! Whether it’s braces or clear aligners, Dr. Ava is committed to helping you towards straighter teeth and a healthier bite.

Fact: The soft tissue in your face keeps growing into adulthood, however your jaw stop growing in young-adulthood.
