Adult Orthodontic Treatment
In the past, going to the orthodontist was seen as a rite of passage for older kids and teens. Now, it is common to see people well into adulthood walking in to the orthodontist office. Adult orthodontic treatment is the newest trend. This is because new technology has changed the process of getting orthodontic treatment as an adult, and the benefits of correcting crooked teeth or a misaligned bite are better understood.
What Are The Benefits of Adult Braces?
While getting adult orthodontic treatment will definitely enhance the appearance of your smile, it is important to understand that adult orthodontic treatment goes far beyond surface aesthetics. Getting braces not only helps you to feel more confident when you smile and speak, but it also can increase your overall oral health by being able to brush and floss properly. Getting adult orthodontic treatment can also help prevent or alleviate painful conditions such as TMJ that tend to progress in severity as you get older.
Options For Orthodontic Treatment?
Whether you have wanted braces since you were a child or are new to needing orthodontic treatment, the great news is that you have more options than ever before for straightening your teeth. At PDOVA, we encourage our adult patients to ask questions about all of our treatment options so we can help you choose which treatment option will merge best into your lifestyle. During your initial consultation, your orthodontist will go over these options. You will be happy to know that most adults are good candidates for Invisalign and other discrete types of braces that allow you enjoy a treatment plan that doesn’t interfere with your lifestyle.
