Yes. Healthy teeth can be moved at any age. Many orthodontic problems can be corrected as easily for adults as for children.
 
Orthodontic appliances move teeth in the same way for both adults and children.

Many options are available today to minimize the esthetic impact of braces. Today’s braces are smaller and sleeker than ever, and some are next-to-invisible.
 
Dr. Holland Maness has the experience to advise you about treatment options that will fit your particular needs. These options allow you to have flexibility and discretion during your treatment.

Almost everything that you could do before orthodontic treatment, you can do during—sing, play a musical instrument, dine out, kiss, and even smile confidently for pictures.
 
Some adjustments may be necessary, but the vast majority of adult patients quickly get used to their treatment with minimal impact on their lifestyle.
 
New techniques and materials have made wearing braces more comfortable and convenient than ever.

During your consultation, Dr. Maness will determine if you will benefit from treatment.
 
After carefully analyzing the nature of your needed correction, our doctors will recommend the best course of treatment for improving your smile, including the kind of orthodontic adjuster that would best suit your needs.

Orthodontic treatment can create and hold space to replace missing teeth. Dr. Maness will work with your dentist or dental specialist.
 
They will provide bridges or implants so that you can achieve the best result.

Dr. Maness will consult with your dentist and/or periodontist about the health of your gums. If you are a candidate for orthodontic treatment, you will continue regular supervision with your dentist and periodontist during your treatment.
 
In many cases, improved tooth alignment can improve the health of your gums.

The cost of orthodontic treatment will depend on many factors, including the severity of the problem, its complexity, and the length of treatment. Dr. Maness will be glad to discuss the cost with you before treatment begins.
 
You’ll find that braces are more affordable today than ever. At Holland Maness Orthodontics, we offer a variety of convenient payment plans and accept most dental insurance plans that include orthodontic benefits.

You can only get the smile you’re hoping for by trusting orthodontists like Dr. Maness to give you personalized care and to monitor your treatment every step of the way.

Orthodontists are dental specialists who diagnose, prevent, and treat dental and facial irregularities. Dr. Maness received an additional three full years of specialized education beyond dental school to learn the proper way to align and straighten teeth.

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