Did you know that braces aren't just for kids anymore ? Tooth alignment can be arranged at any age if your gums and bone structure are healthy.  Oaks Orthodontics offers a variety of treatments that are designed for different age groups, including adults. In fact, about one in every five orthodontic patients today is over age 18. Thanks to today's smaller, less visible, more comfortable brackets, adults are finding braces more appealing. Healthy teeth, bones and gums respond well to orthodontic treatment at almost any age. It's never too late to get a healthy, beautiful smile.

Orthodontic treatment at later stages in life can dramatically improve your personal apprearance and self-esteem. Improving the health of your teeth and gums is equally important. Crooked teeth and a bad bite can contribute to gum and bone loss, tooth decay, abnormal wear of the tooth enamel and surfaces, headaches and jaw joint pain.

At Oaks Orthodontics in Thousand Oaks, we use the latest in techniques and appliances in order to reduce discomfort levels, decrease the frequency of visits and shorten treatment time. You may even have options that include metal braces, translucent braces and transparent aligners (Invisalign), that may be worn at night to improve mild cases of misalignmed teeth.

Dr. Mays and Dr. Bruno can determine if you are the right candidate for Invisalign (pictured above).  Invisalign is a series of clear aligners that are replaced every two weeks or as recommended.  Your Invisalign aligners are custom manufactured to match your teeth only.  The gradual process will shift your teeth into the proper place giving you the beautiful smile that you deserve.
