Adult Orthodontics: Why It’s Never Too Late for a Straighter Smile

“Do you treat adults too?” It’s a question we get asked almost every week! Well, the answer is a resounding, “YES!” The Smile Makers at Coastal Carolina Orthodontics have been providing orthodontic care for adults for over 50 years!

In fact, over the past 20 years, the number of adult patients in our practice has grown exponentially, and while in the past adults may have been a small minority of our patient base, they now comprise roughly 30% of our total patients.

There are several reasons adult orthodontics has become so popular at The Smile Makers.  First, by utilizing the latest orthodontic techniques and technology, we are able to see patients less frequently than in the past, while still finishing treatment in the same amount of time or even faster than before.  This means less time out of work and less interruptions to family commitments.

Probably the biggest reason for the increase in adult orthodontic care is the use of Invisalign.  Invisalign offers patients a way to straighten their teeth that is virtually invisible, allows for normal diet and oral hygiene, and requires less frequent office visits.

Whether it is with braces or Invisalign, The Smile Makers at Coastal Carolina Orthodontics can provide you with the smile you’ve always wanted, no matter your age!
