Adult Treatments

Dental Care for Adults

Many adults realize that investing in a smile makeover can have significant benefits, socially and professionally. Having straighter teeth can be an important part of that confidence-boosting makeover process. The reasons more adults are choosing orthodontics include:

  • Clear aligners like Invisalign® offer a discreet, nearly invisible option for treatment
  • Many adults recognize that a confident smile can have a positive impact socially and professionally
  • Orthodontic treatment can be a key part of a smile makeover that boosts self-esteem
  • Teeth can be safely moved at any age, so adults are not too old for treatment
  • Adult orthodontics focuses on aesthetics, bite correction, and long-term dental health

Adult treatment options will differ from plans that are designed for children. For one thing, the growth and development of the jaws is completed in adulthood, whereas in children growth is ongoing. Other differences include:

  • Gum disease is more common in adults than children
  • Tooth movement can be slower in adults due to denser bone structure
  •  Adults often prefer discreet options like clear aligners or ceramic braces
  •  Jaw structure cannot be altered with braces alone, surgical intervention may be needed for significant changes

If gum disease is present, it must be treated and stabilized before orthodontic treatment begins. The patient will be advised about maintaining oral health during treatment, such as keeping up with dental cleanings and implementing a good home care routine.
