Yes! Orthodontic treatment is not just for teens, though it might take slightly longer as an adult, as the jaw has stopped developing. Due to their discreet look, popular orthodontics services for adults include clear aligners and clear braces. Our orthodontists will help decide which is best for you!

During your free consultation at your orthodontist in Columbia, Dr. Jodi or Dr. Taylor will take a look at your mouth or your child’s mouth, discuss your goals and walk through your medical and oral history. From there, they will outline your treatment options, estimated cost, duration of treatment and answer your questions.

The American Association of Orthodontists (ADA) recommends that parents first bring their child in for an orthodontic evaluation at age 7. Your child’s dentist may refer them, or you may notice speech, eating, cosmetic or other problems that could necessitate orthodontic treatment. While not all children will need to begin treatment at this phase, if recommended by your orthodontist in Columbia, it could guide future treatment, create space and save you money down the road!
