Do I Need Orthodontic Treatment as an Adult?

Orthodontic Treatment

Braces aren’t just for teenagers. Orthodontic treatment is effective for children and adults as well. If you never had your orthodontic problems addressed when you were younger or your teeth have started shifting again now that you are an adult, it’s time to consider visiting an orthodontist. Our skilled orthodontist will evaluate your teeth and determine if orthodontic treatment is right for you.

Why Consider Orthodontic Treatment as an Adult?

If your teeth are not in proper alignment or you have a problem with your bite, it can really affect the way you feel about yourself. Your smile is one of your features that stands out the most. If you feel like you have to hide it all the time because your teeth don’t look attractive, you are hiding a part of yourself. It could be holding you back from living a full life. You may find that you are more willing to put yourself out there at work or in social situations if you are confident in your smile. When your teeth aren’t straight, they protrude, or you have noticeable gaps, they can get in your way. Orthodontic treatment can make you feel positive about yourself.

What are Your Options for Orthodontic Treatment?

You can have the same type of orthodontic treatments that children and teenagers have. Your specific treatment plan will depend on you. You may need spacers or traditional braces. If you don’t want braces that are obvious, clear aligners, braces with clear brackets, and other choices will offer you solutions. Our orthodontist is your trusted source to figure out which direction you will need to go.

Make an Appointment Today

It’s not too late to have the smile of your dreams. Our orthodontist at Central Texas Orthodontics can help you, but it has to start with you. Make an appointment at our office in Austin. Don’t be afraid to come in and get an evaluation. If our orthodontist sees issues that can be corrected from an orthodontic point of view, you can get started on your course of treatment. You will have more reasons to show off your smile when all is said and done. Contact us today to book an appointment and get started!

Excellent service and treatment!

by Lisa

We have been seeing Dr. St. Loius at Central Texas Orthodontics for a couple kids now over several years. Everytime we walk in for an appointment, we are greeted warmly and promptly taken back. The office is easy to get to and always runs on time, we have never had to wait to be seen, which is remarkable for a medical/dental office! The payment options were also fair and easy to understand. And the follow up, even after those braces come off, has been stellar! Retainers get lost or chewed up sometimes (ugg!), but a quick text into the office and we were able to drop off the original molds and have new ones made very quickly. Everyone who works at this office truly cares, and you can tell they all enjoy where they work, which is really wonderful to see. I cannot speak highly enough of this office, the staff, the care, and ESPECIALLY the after care and protecting our investment.

Austin’s Best Orthodontics!

by Robin Petmecky

Dr. St. Louis and his staff are exceptional! Their professional, friendly and caring manner stand out every time I have an appointment. They are always very positive during my visits and make me feel like I’m part of their family. I never have to wait to be seen and I’m usually out in a minimal amount of time. I had my last orthodontic visit recently and they invited me to stop in anytime, just to say hello. I highly recommend Central Texas Orthodontics to anyone needing their services. They are truly the BEST!

Dr. B. and his team are fantastic: Everyone just truly cares! They are knowledgeable and super helpful, always happy to consult. I recommend CTO not only for children and teens, but for adults as well! My two teenage daughters got their braces and I got my Invisalign. Dr. B. took his time to go over all our treatment plans and make adjustments. The communication is seamless and very responsive. All team members are wonderful - my special shoutout goes to Beatrice and Christen though: Those two lovely ladies go above and beyond with everything they do! Thanks to y’alls fabulous care our teeth are all straight now!

I recently finished my treatment and was looking for the backup retainers. After doing my research I decided to make an appointment with Central Texas Orthodontics. I got it scheduled the same day and had my retainers ready in two weeks! Dr. St. Louis and the staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcomed and cared for. I highly recommend this office to anyone who needs a new set of retainers!

We had a wonderful experience with two of our children getting their teeth straightened at this office. Love the staff-friendly and fun. And Dr. B did a fantastic job. After delays due to Covid, he personally went well out of his way to see my daughter and it was so appreciated! Thank you!

Amazing orthodontist!

by Mary Crecelius

We initially went to a different doctor, who sent us to an unnecessary specialist. After a second opinion from Dr. St. Louis, we aren't even ready for braces yet! That is an example of an ethical doctor. I'm pleased that my ten year old will begin her braces with Dr. St. Louis, but not until the time is ready. He sincerely takes you in as if you are the only patient of the day. His staff is polite, articulate, and the office is spotless. I highly recommend this orthodontist to anyone in need. I trust him with my children.

Customer Service @ the Next Level

by Tierra Thomas

Oct 9,2019

Today was my first time visiting this office after they were able to come in after speaking with me the day prior. Note, most offices do not have next day availability for non-emergent care. First, Beatrice! She made me feel welcomed, important and she was willing to take the time with me from the moment I walked into the door! Beatrice doesn’t only belong in the customer service/patient setting, but she specializes in caring for patients and it shows outwardly and genuinely! Second, the Man with the Plan, Dr. Lewis. He is considerate, professional, and demonstrates patience and concern for his patients as well. He answered my questions, and not once did he make me feel like “he had better things to do” or “he had more patients to see”. His tone and cadence sets the tone in this office, and everyone of the staff enjoy being at work! They love what they do, and offices like this one are hard to find! They are an office that should be modeled by many! I’ll be back, and I’ll definitely refer them to those seeking unique, honest, professional, and personalized care! Great job to the entire office -keep it up! Sincerely, Your new number one fan!
