The biggest difference in orthodontics for adults versus teens is that adults are no longer growing. Because of this, adult treatment may take longer than treatment for teens with a similar problem. The biologic process of orthodontic treatment is the same, regardless of age. Teeth move in response to light forces being placed on them over time. For adults, it is common for Dr. Jones to work with your dentist to coordinate care. To reach optimal dental health, Dr. Jones may need to call in other dental specialists such as an oral surgeon, periodontist or endodontist.
