Braces for Adults

With more that 30 years of experience, Board-Certified Toledo Orthodontist Dr. Bruce Atkinson enjoys helping his adult patients to achieve straight, stable and healthy smiles. His patients appreciate that he works personally with them to carefully design their course of treatment and ensure that they achieve beautiful, healthy and lasting results. With friendly, personal and experienced care, he will explain every part of your treatment and make sure that you understand exactly what needs to be done.

More and more adults these days are opting for orthodontic treatment. Overcrowded, misaligned or crooked teeth may make you self-conscious about your smile. They also can present serious health issues, as the teeth are more difficult to clean and more likely to have decay and bone loss. By using braces with his adult patients, Dr. Atkinson makes sure that they achieve the best possible smiles in the shortest possible time.

Adults usually find that their treatment lasts longer than treatment for kids and teens, because they are no longer growing. But with proper care and attention, orthodontics for adults will result in long-lasting, beautiful smiles.

Adults should schedule a free initial consultation with Dr. Atkinson. He will take x-rays, examine your mouth thoroughly, and explain the options that are available to you.

Our adult patients appreciate Dr. Atkinson's careful attention to detail, and they enjoy coming to our office every month. Their smiles are pretty terrific, too!

Clear Braces? 

Clear braces, or plastic aligners, such as Invisalign®, can be used in adult dentistry to create teeth movement. However, Dr. Atkinson finds their greatest use is for small tooth movement. For extensive or complex straightening, or if a bite needs to be corrected, traditional braces are usually more effective and can actually take a lot less time.

No-Charge Consultation for Adults

Dr. Atkinson offers a No-charge Personal Consultation for adults who are looking for orthodontic treatment. He will eavluate your bite, the alignment of your teeth and jaw and recommend a treatment plan to help you get the smile you want.

Adult success

"I actually looked forward to all my visits.  Everyone here is so friendly and caring, and what a fabulous job was done on my teeth.  I have a great smile and I love to show it off! Dr. Bruce’s personality works with all ages.  He makes everyone comfortable and always has them laughing.  I’m glad I still come in for a visit or two each year." -- Diane Pacella

"The day finally came, I saw my name on the BRACES OFF sign.  Thinking back the time has really gone quickly.  You and your office staff are really great.  Always so helpful, understanding and smiling.  Of course, it also helped that they also had braces and were over 20 years old.  At times I wasn’t the best patient but you made these months go fast and I always was excited to come in." -- Susan Kimple
