Why Consider Adult Orthodontics?
Having a straighter smile can make a lasting impression, both in social settings and professional environments. That’s why many adults choose orthodontic treatment to enhance their appearance and boost their confidence. But beyond the aesthetic appeal, correcting misaligned teeth can also reduce jaw discomfort and prevent uneven wear on your teeth over time.
Moreover, straight teeth are easier to clean, which helps lower the risk of cavities, gum disease, and other dental issues. Adult orthodontic treatment can also improve many of your oral functions, making it easier to bite, chew, and speak comfortably.
Questions About Adult Orthodontics?
Treatment Options We Offer for Adult Orthodontics
We provide different treatment options for adult orthodontic treatment, depending on the specific bite and misalignment issues. They include:
Traditional Braces
They are one of the most reliable and effective orthodontic treatments for adults. Using metal brackets bonded to the teeth, we can correct a wide range of dental concerns, from mild crowding to more complex bite and alignment issues.
Ceramic or Clear Braces
These braces function just like traditional metal braces but are made from clear or tooth-colored materials. They are a great option for patients who want a more discreet treatment but prefer a fixed appliance over removable aligners.
Invisalign®
Invisalign® aligners are practically invisible when worn, making them a preferable choice for many teens and adults. These aligners fit comfortably and can be easily removed before eating or brushing.
FAQs
How long does adult orthodontic treatment take?
Treatment time depends on the severity of the orthodontic issue. However, in most cases, it takes 12 to 24 months.
Can I get orthodontic treatment even if I have dental crowns or implants?
Yes, adults with crowns, bridges, or implants can still undergo orthodontic treatment. We will adjust or modify the plan according to your needs.
Is orthodontic treatment more painful for adults?
Modern orthodontic treatments for adults are comfortable and have a short adjustment period. You may only experience slight pain during the initial phase.
