Adults

Did you know 1 in 5 orthodontic patients are adults? There’s no such thing as being too old or too young for orthodontic treatment. Orthodontic care is based on the unique needs and goals of each patient. Dr. Phillis is here to help determine the timing and type of treatment necessary to give you a healthy, beautiful smile.
