Adult Orthodontics

Adult Orthodontics in Peoria and Pekin, IL

Braces aren’t just for kids! All ages can benefit from a healthy bite. Tooth alignment can be changed at any age if your gums and bone structures are healthy, which we evaluate with every adult patient.

Crooked teeth and a bad bite can contribute to gum and bone loss, tooth decay, abnormal wear of the tooth enamel and surfaces, headaches and jaw joint (TMJ/TMD) pain.
