Dr. Bryan Hicks, Vancouver Orthodontist specializes in orthodontics for adults in Burnaby, Squamish, West Vancouver, North Vancouver

For adults, orthodontics are no longer a growth and development issue. For many people, it’s become a self-confidence issue. Whether your orthodontic problems are causing you injury or not, the appearance of your smile is at the top of most adult patients’ lists. A healthy smile exudes confidence, poise and polish. We believe you should love your smile, and be proud to show it off!

Of course, it’s about more than looking good. Correcting misaligned teeth and jaws can help prevent gum disease, bone loss, tooth decay, wearing of tooth enamel, headaches and jaw pain. The longer you leave it, the worse these problems can become. Why put it off any longer?

Many adults say they don’t want to feel like an awkward teenager… and that’s fair enough. After all, you already survived that part of your life! The good news is, there are great options today that can suit most adults’ lifestyles, including clear braces and aligners, called Invisalign. Rest assured that you’re not alone: more than 30 percent of orthodontic patients are adults. Come in for your initial consultation today – no commitment necessary – and discover the treatment options that will work for you. We promise they’ll make you smile!
