Adults have great options available to them , including cosmetic alignment of the teeth in treatments as short as six months . Invisalign ® is an option that has opened the door toawhole new set of patients who would have never considered traditional braces . Patients are so happily surprised with how easy and comfortable it is to straighten their teeth with clear removable aligners .” It ’ s also a great option for teenagers who got their adult teeth on the later side and are no longer interested in metal braces .

“ It is very important for children to have an orthodontic consultation around the age of 7 ,” Dr .

It is essential in order to avoid a more complicated treatment later on . Examples include avoiding impacted teeth , extraction of permanent teeth and jaw surgery .”
Seeking orthodontic care is a big decision , so Dr . Cohen and her team want to give patients the opportunity to get to know them before committing to any course of treatment . This is why they offer a complimentary consultation , during which patients will learn everything they need to know in order to decide on which treatment is right for them .
