It’s never too late to straighten your smile!
Today, one in five orthodontic patients is an adult. Also, the American Association of Orthodontists estimates that nearly 1,000,000 adults in the United States and Canada are being treated by a certified orthodontist at any given time. This is because, just like for children, adult orthodontic problems can be successfully corrected. And the benefits of a straighter, more confident smile can be as positive and profound for adults as for kids.
Trust the experience & skill thousands of adults have come to trust. Cliff Running, DDS, and Todd Hellwig, DMD, are highly trained orthodontists who each have more than 25 years of experience. Since 1982, they’ve helped many thousands of adults in Phoenix and Scottsdale have straight, beautiful smiles. They’ve also built a reputation for excellence based on their skills and personalized, hands-on care. This unique approach has earned them the trust of adults who want improved smiles and top-quality service and results.
Focused on your needs... at any age.
No two people — and no two orthodontic cases — are exactly alike. Which is why every patient gets 100% focus on their individual needs. For starters, what’s best for a child’s smile, or another adult’s, may not be best for you. Also, we know that many adults avoid orthodontic care because of their concerns about a “metal grin” which is precisely why we offer treatments that are more esthetically pleasing, including:
Cosmetic clear braces – Today, the “standard” bracket-and-wire braces come in various aesthetically acceptable colors, including tooth-colored. Get time-tested treatment and results... with a much lower visibility factor!
Invisalign® – Invisalign is an alternative to traditional braces that can give you a straighter smile without wires or brackets. For those adults who are candidates, a series of clear, removable custom aligners gradually straighten teeth... almost invisibly!
With Drs. Running and Hellwig, it’s never too late to have a great, straight smile... and everything that comes with it. Call and schedule your consultation with Drs. Running and Hellwig today.
