Older Adults
Many adults feel that braces are just for kids or that they are just for looks. By simply aligning the teeth, adults can clean their teeth easier and there is less stain build-up. They are able to keep their gums healthier and many times reverse periodontal disease.
At Dr. Woehst's office we are able to change adult profiles by changing their teeth and jaws.
Before and After Photos
By opening deep bites we are able to eliminate TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint Disorder) symptoms like popping and clicking joints, locking jaws, and headaches as we did in the patient picture above.
We also work with your general dentist to align the teeth so that they can do a better job with veneers, bridges, or implants. I’ve had many parents go through treatment after they’ve seen how easy it was for their kids.
Let’s hear what one of my former patients said about her braces:
"BRACES!!! At my age! Yes, and what a difference it makes. Dr. Woehst made my smile beautiful but, more importantly, I can chew and enjoy eating. I had no idea what I had missed for 57 years. I look back at pictures before my braces and wonder why I waited. Dr. Woehst has the skills and techniques to help everyone with any dental problem. Today I “smile” because Dr. Woehst’s talents smiled on me. If you are wondering or questioning yourself about orthodontic work, call Dr. Woehst today and begin a new way of life with a new smile.”

It’s never too late for braces. Anita Kyle, age 82, had lost a lower incisor. Rather than replace this tooth with an implant or bridge, we simply closed the space with 6 months of braces.
