“Quite recently, orthodontic treatment was considered mainly for children and teenagers. Today’s modern orthodontics becomes more popular among adults. Orthodontic braces look differently than before and do not require such long term of operation that is why many adults decide to start such treatment.
50% of our patients are adults. Such possibilities like Invisalign® are perfect for them. We can select areas which need to be improved with each patient without worrying about unaesthetic and clumsy dental braces. Our team understands individual patient’s needs, both during and after treatment.
