"I'm too old for braces"



Dr. Havens specializes in orthodontic care for children and adults.  He has experience treating patients from 5 years old to patients in their 70’s.  Dr. Havens individualizes his treatment plans for each patient, so he is experienced in not only managing tooth and jaw discrepancies in growing children but also helping adults who have always wanted a smile enhancement.  He also frequently works with many great dentists to coordinate spacing and alignment for future implants, crowns, bridges, veneers and other restorative needs.

Lingual Braces
The desire for straighter teeth does not always involve “full braces.”  Depending on the esthetic and functional goals of each patient, treatment may only last a few months and you may not even need braces to correct your teeth.  There are many options that may be a great fit for your wishes and lifestyle.  


“….but I don’t want metal braces.”  Don’t worry; there are many options for treatment without metal braces.  Using the most advanced technology, Dr. Havens offers many different esthetic choices for those who want straight teeth but want to “hide” the process.  A few of the options include clear (esthetic) braces, Invisalign®, lingual braces (hidden on the inside of the teeth), or a series of retainer options for limited treatment.  If you are interested in learning more, please do not hesitate to call for a no-obligation consultation to discuss your options.  Who knows, the smile you have always wanted may be easier to get than you thought!
