Orthodontics for Adults

Orthodontic treatment is no longer just for teenagers. 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.

Reasons adults consider orthodontic treatment:

• Crowned, uneven teeth that are difficult to clean and maintain and don’t fit together properly

• Teeth that have relapsed after braces as a teenager

• Teeth that are crowded or spaced apart, possibly causing tooth decay or gum disease

Treatment options for adults

The idea of metal braces is enough to discourage many adults from receiving treatment. However, today treatment options include removable appliances and clear aligners.
