Some adults that come in for their complementary consultation are a little nervous about admitting they need braces. We try our best to make ALL of our patients feel welcome and let them know that they are in the right place for treatment. We love to see adults come into our office because they are a great inspiration to individuals who are a little skeptical about getting braces.

The most common response we hear from an adult is "I'm too old for braces"! But the truth is that many of our patients are adults, and patients of all ages can benefit from orthodontic treatment with Dr. Wilson & team. We explain everything from what to expect at the beginning to the day the braces come off. We have some patients that put off treatment as long as they can for different reasons. They know they need them but have heard stories from other people that they hurt and they have to come in all of the time for adjustments. We have the latest and GREATEST technology out there!! We use the Damon System Braces. They are very low profile, they are small in size and are very comfortable to the lips and cheeks. This system shortens the length of treatment compared to the other bracket systems, something our adult patients really love!

Many of our adult patients are very receptive about getting braces and want them the same day they are in for their consultation. Most always we can make this happen. This gets them even more excited. We want our adult patients to know how important they are to us.

When adult patients come in for their appointments and see other adults, they feel better knowing they are hardly the only adult with braces. While all patients may be a little apprehensive at first, but we always show the utmost hospitality and respect for EVERYONE that walks in our office. They always leave with a smile on their face with or without braces!
