The Need For Adult Orthodontic Treatment
A lovely smile can change the way we think about ourselves, improving our confidence and self-esteem. However, many adults have a hard time feeling comfortable with their smile due to crooked, misaligned, or overlapping teeth. Crooked teeth can impact our oral health, as they can cause food and plaque to become wedged between the gaps, causing decay and infections. More severe misalignments, such as overbites, underbites, and crossbites can cause more serious issues, including jaw pain, headaches, jaw joint pain and even periodontal disease. Orthodontic braces and aligners can provide effective treatment options for adults to improve their smile and oral health.

Dr. Mingus provides adult treatment plans that are tailored specifically to each patient’s individual needs. She conducts a thorough examination of the patient’s mouth, teeth, gums, jaw and bite to determine the best course of treatment. Her office uses state-of-the-art tools and technology, such as the iTero digital scanner, to map out each patient’s mouth and bone structure, develop a precise treatment plan, and monitor the progress of each case.
There are many options available to correct dental alignment issues, and Dr. Mingus offers several options to meet the specific needs of her patients. Traditional metal braces are still a popular option for those who are seeking more affordable and effective orthodontic treatment.
