Yes. Healthy teeth can be moved at any age. Many orthodontic problems can be corrected as easily for adults as for children.

Orthodontic appliances move teeth in the same way for both adults and children.

We have a few options to help make your treatment look subtle. Today’s braces are smaller and sleeker than ever, and some are next-to-invisible.

Dr. Ryan Trulby can advise you about options that will fit your particular needs. Find more information about types of braces, including Invisalign and InBrace (braces that fit on the inside surface of the teeth), on our treatment page.

Almost everything that you could do before orthodontic treatment, you can do during—sing, play a musical instrument, dine out, kiss, and even have your picture taken.

Some adjustments may be necessary, but the vast majority of adult patients around Jersey City adjust very quickly and with minimal impact on their lifestyle.

During your consultation, Dr. Trulby will determine if you will benefit from treatment.

After carefully analyzing the nature of your needed correction, Dr. Trulby will recommend the best course of treatment for improving your smile, including the kind of orthodontic adjuster that would best suit your needs.

Orthodontic treatment can create and hold space to replace missing teeth. Dr. Trulby will work with your dentist or dental specialist.

Dentists all around Jersey City can provide bridges or implants so you can achieve the best result.

Dr. Trulby will consult with your dentist and/or periodontist about the health of your gums. If you are a candidate for orthodontic treatment, you will continue regular supervision with your dentist and periodontist during your treatment.

In many cases, improved tooth alignment can improve the health of the gums.

The cost of orthodontic treatment will depend on many factors, including the severity of the problem, its complexity and length of treatment. Dr. Trulby will be glad to discuss the cost with you before treatment begins.

You’ll find that braces are more affordable today than ever. At Heights Orthodontics, we offer a variety of convenient payment plans and accept most dental insurance plans that include orthodontic benefits.

You can only get the smile you’re hoping by trusting an orthodontist like Dr. Trulby to give you personalized care, and to monitor your treatment every step of the way.

Orthodontists are dental specialists who diagnose, prevent and treat dental and facial irregularities. Dr. Trulby received an additional three full years of specialized education beyond dental school to learn the proper way to align and straighten teeth.

Only those (like Dr. Trulby) with this formal education may call themselves “orthodontists,” and only orthodontists may be members of the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO).
