Adult orthodontics

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

Orthodontists like Dr. Periago are dental specialists who diagnose, prevent and treat dental and facial irregularities.

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

You’ll feel at ease allowing our skilled orthodontic experts 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.

You have many options at Periago Orthodontics to minimize the appearance of braces. Dr. Periago can advise you about options that will fit your particular needs.

Today’s braces are smaller and sleeker, and some are next-to-invisible. These options allow you to have flexibility and discretion during your treatment.

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

Some adjustments may be necessary. But, if you’re like the vast majority of adult patients, you’ll adjust quickly.

New techniques and materials at Periago Orthodontics make wearing braces more comfortable and convenient than ever.

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

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

Dr. Periago 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. Periago 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.
