INVISALIGN & BRACES FOR ADULTS IN HARRISBURG, CARLISLE, & CAMP HILL

More adults are seeking orthodontic treatment for a variety of reasons. Some people want to improve their smiles or correct their bites. Other people are working to improve their health or to boost their self-esteem. The stigma of braces has been replaced with the realization that a straight smile isn’t just about looks. Whether you select Invisalign, Clarity Braces, or traditional metal braces, you can discover the smile of your dreams.

According to the Academy of General Dentistry, around one million Americans and Canadians over the age of 18 wear braces. Correcting malocclusions in adults can have a beneficial effect on overall health. When teeth are straight and the bite aligned, chewing is easier and more complete, which aids digestion. Better digestion means better absorption of nutrients, which keeps the body healthier.

With healthy gums and the bone structure of your jaw, aligning your teeth for proper bite functionality is a good choice. There is also the aesthetic appeal. Orthodontic treatment at later stages in life can dramatically improve your personal appearance and self-esteem.

We offer a variety of treatments that are designed for different age groups – including adults:
Clarity Braces
Colorful Metal Braces
Invisalign
Retainers

Crooked teeth and a bad bite can contribute to gum and bone loss, tooth decay, abnormal wear of the tooth enamel and surfaces, headaches, and jaw joint (TMJ/TMD) pain. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, orthodontic treatment may help. You can start today!

It’s Never Too Late for a New Smile

Many of the patients at Hilton Diminick Orthodontics are adults. One thing they all agree on is that it’s never too late to improve your smile, which can also be your greatest asset.

Come see us if you have:

  • Crowded front teeth
  • Difficulty biting or chewing food
  • Crowded, misplaced, or “blocked” teeth
  • A jaw that “pops” upon opening and closing
  • Straight teeth, but a possibly misaligned jaw
  • Breathing through your mouth—not nose
  • Teeth that are misaligned—or do not come together at all
  • Jaws and teeth that are not proportionate to the rest of his/her face

During the initial examination, we will be able to determine the best possible treatment for your individual needs. One of our doctors will outline the recommended treatment plan, including the duration, or how long treatment will take. They will also explain the cost and other information about treatment.

Hilton-Diminick Orthodontics offers both Invisalign and traditional braces for our adult patients. Orthodontic treatment can easily fit into your active lifestyle. Making your dream of having a perfect smile come true is one of our top priorities.
