Adult Orthodontics at Any Age
Orthodontics isn’t just for kids and teens. In fact, one in every five orthodontic patients is an adult. No one is too old for a beautifully aligned smile.
Why Choose Adult Braces for Orthodontics
Many adults seek orthodontic care for a variety of reasons, including:
Correcting orthodontic issues that were untreated in childhood.
Addressing relapse after previous treatment due to a lack of retainer wear.
Enhancing dental hygiene by improving alignment for easier brushing and flossing.
Creating a balanced and comfortable bite.
Closing gaps or addressing missing teeth.
Reducing excessive wear caused by grinding or a poor bite.
Correcting jaw alignment issues, which may require jaw surgery.
Advanced Teeth Straightening Options
Worried about the look of braces? Adults today have more options than ever before:
Invisalign® Clear Aligners: A nearly invisible solution using clear, removable aligners.
Clear Ceramic Braces: An aesthetic alternative to traditional metal braces.
Comfort and Convenience
Orthodontic treatment for adults is designed with comfort in mind. You may experience slight soreness after adjustments, but this typically subsides within 3-5 days. Modern techniques, including advanced titanium technology, ensure effective and efficient tooth movement with reduced discomfort. Treatment is generally completed within 15-18 months.
Why Consider Orthodontic Treatment as an Adult?
Maintain Oral Health: Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of gum disease and tooth decay.
Boost Confidence: A straight, beautiful smile enhances self-esteem.
Avoid Future Problems: Untreated orthodontic issues can worsen over time, leading to costly dental problems.
