Orthodontics for Adults

Dr. Collins specializes in the detection, prevention, and correction of dental and facial irregularities. After dental school, she underwent an additional three years of specialized training in orthodontics to become an expert in teeth alignment.

Only those with this expertise can become certified orthodontists and belong to the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO).

Orthodontic care can:

• Help in preventing or alleviating gum issues
• Aid in reducing bone loss surrounding your teeth
• Better enable dentists to replace absent teeth
• Enhance your smile and facial aesthetics
• Improve your tooth function
• Boost your self-esteem and confidence
• Foster better overall oral health

Absolutely! As long as your teeth are healthy, Dr. Collins can realign them regardless of your age. Many orthodontic concerns can be addressed in adults just as effectively as in younger patients because the process of adjusting teeth works similarly for both adults and teens.

Today's braces are much more discreet than the options you had growing up. Contemporary braces are sleeker — and some options are nearly invisible. Dr. Collins can help you determine the best treatment option to address your concerns and needs and help you reach your smile goals.

Modern orthodontic treatment won’t typically hinder most of your daily activities. You’ll need slight adjustments periodically, but adults typically adapt quickly. Current advancements have made braces more accommodating than ever before.

During your assessment, Dr. Collins will determine if orthodontic care is right for you. Based on your unique needs, she’ll recommend the most fitting treatment option to enhance your smile.

Orthodontics can create or preserve space for tooth replacements. Dr. Collins collaborates with your dentist to achieve optimal results, whether through bridges, implants, or another intervention.

Your gum health will be assessed in collaboration with your dentist or periodontist. You’ll need to maintain regular consultations with both your dentist and Dr. Collins to monitor your progress, but getting your teeth into their correct alignment will likely aid in improving your overall gum health.

Treatment costs can vary depending on the severity of your issue, its complexity, and the duration of your treatment. Dr. Collins is committed to making sure you understand all costs before beginning any treatment.

With current options, braces have become more affordable, and we offer flexible payment options and accept many dental insurance plans.
