Adults Orthodontics

Because it’s never too late for the smile of success.

If you're an adult considering orthodontics, you’re not alone. Today, one in five orthodontic patients is an adult. So you'll be happy to know that many orthodontic problems can be corrected as well for adults as for children. That’s because orthodontic forces move teeth the same way for a 40-year-old adult and a 10-year-old child. Dr. Coccaro understands that many adults just like you would like to enhance their smiles, which is why he's made adult orthodontics an integral part of his practice.

Offering the latest solutions.

Dr. Peter Coccaro offers several orthodontic options for adults and will recommend the best one for your individual condition. One option that you’ve probably heard about is Invisalign®, which straightens teeth using a series of clear removable and custom-made aligners. You can take them out whenever you eat, brush or floss.
Although you want a straighter smile, you might be avoiding braces because you don’t want the appearance of metal braces on your teeth. Fortunately, Dr. Coccaro offers cosmetic clear braces, which are an excellent option if you are conscious about your image. Cosmetic clear braces are made of composite materials and are extremely strong; they are also resistant to staining. Traditional metal and gold braces are also available.
