Orthodontic treatment is no longer just for teens. Many adults are choosing to receive treatment because they understand the importance of maintaining their health, and they want to feel better about their appearance.
Common Reasons Why Adults Are Considering Orthodontic Treatment
- A bad bite or malocclusion, causing teeth to fit together
- Teeth are crowded or spaced apart, possibly leading to tooth decay or gum
- Abnormal jaw pain or pressure that is caused by crooked
- Desire for a healthier mouth and a more confident
Treatment Options for Adults
For many adults, the thought of having metal braces is enough to discourage them from receiving treatment. However, today’s orthodontic treatment options offer a variety of braces and appliances that are comfortable, aesthetic, and customized to meet your needs. Types of braces include:
- Traditional Metal Braces
- Ceramic Braces
- Lingual (behind the tooth) Braces
- Clear Aligners
The Difference Between Adult Orthodontics and Orthodontics For Children And Teens:
The main difference between treating adults and children or teens is that the jawbones of younger patients are still developing. For adults, these bones have stopped.
