Why More Adults Are Choosing Orthodontic Care
Adult orthodontics offers numerous benefits beyond aesthetics. Straightening your teeth can enhance your health by addressing bite problems, preventing tooth decay, and improving proper alignment. Unlike child orthodontics, adult treatment requires a customized approach due to fully developed jaw structures and a higher prevalence of gum disease.
Healthy teeth can be moved at any age, but maintaining proper oral hygiene is crucial during treatment to prevent periodontal disease. Before beginning your orthodontic journey, we’ll confirm your gums are healthy to support long-term success.
Innovative Orthodontic Treatment Options
We understand that adults seek orthodontic care that blends effortlessly into their daily routines. That’s why we offer a range of advanced orthodontic solutions suited to your needs:
Traditional Metal Braces
Metal braces remain a trusted option for correcting severe orthodontic problems. These durable braces feature small metal brackets and wires that effectively move teeth into alignment.
Clear Braces (Ceramic Braces)
Prefer a less noticeable option? Clear braces use brackets made from ceramic or plastic, offering a subtler alternative to metal braces. While they’re effective, extra care is needed to avoid breakage.
Clear Aligners
Invisible aligners, such as Invisalign®, provide a virtually invisible option for adults. These removable trays gently shift your teeth over time and allow you to maintain proper oral hygiene easily. They’re perfect for busy professionals seeking convenience and flexibility.
Lingual Braces
For a completely hidden option, lingual braces are bonded to the back of your teeth. These appliances are effective and discreet but may require more time to adjust to wearing.
The Importance of Retainers After Treatment
Your orthodontic journey doesn’t end once your braces or aligners come off. Wearing a retainer is essential to preserve your new smile and prevent teeth from shifting back to their original positions. We’ll guide you through proper retainer use to ensure your results last a lifetime.
