Give Your Smile a Boost With Adult Orthodontics

According to the American Association of Orthodontists, adult orthodontics account for more than 25% of all teeth-straightening patients in the United States and Canada. Adulthood is an ideal time to correct your teeth, whether you have never undergone orthodontic treatment before or have had a relapse after neglecting retainer use for a while. At the dental office, the dentist will develop a treatment plan that fits your lifestyle and requirements.

Adult orthodontics for a better smile

Adult orthodontics offers patients a transformed smile, which can raise their confidence. This self-assurance pervades all aspects of one’s life, including job and relationships. Most adult orthodontic patients believe that straightening their teeth provided them the courage to undertake something that they would not have done otherwise. Everyone needs to feel good about themselves and to be able to pursue their aspirations and objectives with confidence.

Besides a person’s sentiments about their teeth, one’s appearance contributes to first impressions, for better or worse, and the smile is the first thing that people see. When compared to those with crooked teeth, people with straight smiles have a better chance of obtaining work, according to research published in the American Journal of Orthodontics & Dentofacial Orthopedics. Straight teeth can improve one's social life and career prospects.

However, adult orthodontics offers more than simply aesthetic benefits. Teeth straightening and bite correction can enhance dental health and as a result, better overall health. Here are a few of the advantages:

  • Straight teeth are easy to clean, and the gums will hug each tooth tightly, preventing dental decay and gum disease, which has been linked to various health problems, including diabetes and heart disease
  • An aligned bite can help the teeth and jaw operate better and ensure that the patient can breathe, speak, and chew properly, and it can relieve jaw pain and strain
  • Uneven wear is reduced when teeth are in their correct positions
  • There is less risk of a dental injury

Adults make ideal candidates for esthetic, less conspicuous procedures

Traditional metal braces are not the only options available for adult orthodontics. Modern metal braces remain an ideal alternative for adults, and they are smaller, more appealing, and more comfortable than they used to be.

However, some adults may prefer something more understated. The good news is that clear aligners, self-ligating and traditional ceramic braces, and lingual braces work effectively for adults. Since they are attached to the backs of the teeth and concealed from view when smiling, lingual braces are the least noticeable of all the options. Patients can also get removable clear aligners, which are hardly noticeable on the teeth.

In conclusion

Adult orthodontics does not have to be inhibitive. If you have misaligned teeth and want straighter teeth, you should consider scheduling an appointment with the dentist. You can discuss highly effective options that offer discreet straightening.
