Today more and more adults are choosing to straighten their smiles with Adult Braces. Adults now account for more than 30% of all Orthodontic cases.
Orthodontic Braces or traditional Braces
Braces use a combination of brackets and wires which are attached to the front of your teeth. The brackets grip the teeth and the wires are loosened or tightened to move the teeth to the desired position. Today many Orthodontists also use tooth coloured brackets or clear brackets. This style of Braces is discrete within the mouth and can be difficult for others to detect.
Lingual Braces
Lingual Braces are like conventional braces; however, the brackets and wires are attached to the back of your teeth instead of the front. Lingual Braces are considered to be the best non-visible form of conventional fixed orthodontic treatment. Lingual Braces have the same result as conventional braces in the same amount of time. Most people are perfect candidates for Lingual Braces.
Invisible Braces & Clear Braces
With the latest technology, nobody needs to know you have got braces! Your teeth just get healthier & more beautiful – while you smile confidently and proudly. Clear Braces or Invisible Braces offer effective & amazing results. By using a series of clear, removable aligners, Invisalign Invisible Braces move your teeth into a straighter position step by step, until you have a more beautiful smile.
Adult Braces
As well as giving you a stunning straight smile, Orthodontics can also be highly beneficial to your dental health and overall well-being. Straight teeth can help you to chew and bite correctly while preventing serious dental health problems occurring in the future. People with crooked teeth are more likely to develop decay, periodontal disease and place strain on remaining teeth.
Orthodontics is beneficial to both adults and children alike. Although more time is needed for adults to get to the final tooth position, you will see that the end smile result will be just as effective.
It is essential for adults to know that you are never too old to get braces!
