Braces can finally give you the confident, beautiful smile you have always wanted. Many adults also straighten first to prepare for crowns, veneers, or implants, and Dr. Chris Freeman works closely with your dentist so your new restorations fit better and last longer.

The Confident Smile You Have Always Wanted
Deciding to straighten your teeth as an adult is really about one thing, feeling great about your smile. Whether it is for a wedding, a career move, or simply for yourself, a smile you love changes how you show up every day.
Many adults also come to us to prepare for dental work like crowns, veneers, or implants. Aligning the teeth first creates the ideal foundation, and we plan every step around the result you want.
Signs You May Benefit From Adult Braces
If any of these sound familiar, a quick consult can tell you where you stand.
Straightening Before Crowns, Veneers, or Implants
A large share of our adult patients come in to get ready for restorative dentistry. When teeth are crowded, tipped, or spaced unevenly, crowns, veneers, and implants are harder to place and rarely look or fit their best.
Straightening first opens up the right amount of space and sets the teeth at the correct angles, so your dentist can place restorations that look natural, sit properly, and function the way they should.
We Work Hand in Hand With Your Dentist
Great results come from a great team. Dr. Freeman coordinates closely with your dentist, sharing scans and a plan so the spacing and bite are exactly right for the restorations you have coming.
The payoff is real. Well positioned teeth mean your crowns, veneers, or implants fit better, last longer, and are far easier to keep clean, which protects both your investment and your long term oral health.
