Orthodontic treatment is not just for children and teenagers; it is also a viable option for adults who want to improve their oral health and appearance. There are several options available for adult orthodontic treatment, including:
Adult Treatment
Traditional Braces
Traditional braces are the most common orthodontic treatment option for adults. They consist of metal brackets and wires that are attached to the teeth and adjusted regularly to move the teeth into their proper positions. Traditional braces are effective for correcting a wide range of orthodontic issues, including overcrowding, crooked teeth, and bite problems.
Clear Braces
Clear braces use clear or tooth-colored brackets and wires that are less noticeable than traditional braces. Clear braces are a good option for adults who want to avoid the noticeable appearance of metal braces but still want an effective orthodontic treatment.
Clear Aligners
Invisalign is a popular orthodontic treatment option for adults. It uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth. Invisalign aligners are custom-made to fit over the teeth and apply gentle pressure to move them into their correct positions. Invisalign is a good option for adults who want to straighten their teeth without the noticeable appearance of traditional braces.
Lingual Braces
Lingual braces are similar to traditional braces but are attached to the back of the teeth, making them virtually invisible. Lingual braces are a good option for adults who want the effectiveness of traditional braces but don’t want the noticeable appearance of metal braces.
Self-Ligating Braces
Self-ligating braces use a slide mechanism instead of elastics to hold the archwire in place, making them more comfortable and easier to clean. Self-ligating braces are a good option for adults who want a more comfortable orthodontic treatment.
