Yes. Healthy teeth can be moved at any age.

You deserve to love your smile, no matter your age. You might not realize that we can fix your tooth alignment no matter what your age is.

Braces are not just for children anymore. We can get you the smile you deserve!

Any kind of medical treatment (including orthodontics) should be personally overseen by an expert. Orthodontists are dental specialists who diagnose, prevent and treat dental and facial irregularities.

Dr. Patel received an additional two full years of specialized education beyond dental school to learn the proper way to align and straighten teeth.

Only those with this formal education may call themselves “orthodontists,” and only orthodontists may be members of the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO).

You’ll feel at ease allowing our skilled orthodontist to carefully oversee your treatment every step of the way.

We’ll take X-rays of your teeth and work hand-in-hand with your dentist to know the intricacies of your smile and ensure that you receive the best possible result in your treatment.

This will give you the promise of a much better smile in the end.

Braces can be as discreet as you need them to be. Today’s braces are smaller and sleeker, and some are next-to-invisible.  Also, clear aligners are a great alternative to braces for an even more 'invisible' look.

Dr. Patel can advise you about options that will fit your particular needs.

These options allow you to have flexibility and discretion during your treatment.

During your consultation, Dr. Patel can determine if you’ll benefit from treatment.

After carefully analyzing your needs, Dr. Patel will recommend the best treatment to improve your smile, including the braces that are best for you.

You can do almost anything during orthodontic treatment – sing, play a musical instrument, dine out, kiss, and even have your picture taken.

You may have to make a few adjustments, but most adult patients adjust quickly.

New techniques and materials have made wearing braces more comfortable and convenient than ever.

Orthodontic treatment can create, close, or hold space to replace missing teeth.

Dr. Patel will work with your dentist or dental specialist. They’ll provide bridges or implants so you can achieve the best result.

Dr. Patel will consult with your dentist and/or periodontist about the health of your gums.

If you’re a candidate for orthodontic treatment, you’ll continue regular supervision with your dentist and periodontist.

In many cases, tooth alignment can improve the health of the gums.

The cost of orthodontic treatment will depend on many factors, including the severity of the problem, its complexity and length of treatment. Dr. Patel will be glad to discuss the cost with you before treatment begins.

You’ll find that braces are more affordable today than ever. We offer a variety of convenient payment plans and accept many dental insurance plans that include orthodontic benefits.
