Orthodontic treatment can be successful at any age, and adults
especially appreciate the benefits of a beautiful smile. One of
every five patients in orthodontic treatment is over 21. Jaw surgery
is more often required for adult orthodontic patients because their
jaws are not growing. Adults also may have experienced some breakdown
or loss of their teeth — and bone that supports the teeth — and
may require periodontal treatment before, during and/or after orthodontic
treatment. Bone loss can also limit the amount and direction of
tooth movement that is advisable.
"Dr. Liss,
'Thanks' only begins to express the appreciation I feel for the treatment, friendly service and professional manner that you, and your staff, always displayed during my treatment. I am driven to write and express what a huge impact your work has had on me.
Orthodontic treatment was not even a consideration in my youth. So, I dealt with the shame of my crooked teeth with a closed mouth. Initially, the joy and excitement of having my braces removed was certainly due to the physical restraint, but I was not prepared for the psychological relief that was about to happen to me. I noticed the remarkable difference (even with braces on) straight teeth were having on my life.
Dr. Liss, you have always been humble in your role in my treatment, insisting that is has been due to 'my' hard work, but you must accept my sincere thanks for making such a huge difference in my life.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
