If you’re concerned about the visibility of your orthodontic devices, then this most discreet form of treatment may be the perfect choice for you!\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch3>Conventional metal braces\u003C/h3>\n\u003Cp>Though the thought of metal braces as an adult may not appeal to all, conventional braces for adults provide exceptional treatment outcomes and can be the most effective choice for certain types of orthodontic concerns. Braces today are smaller and more comfortable than ever before, and more adults are choosing traditional metal braces based on the speed of treatment.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch3>Ceramic braces\u003C/h3>\n\u003Cp>Ceramic braces are also a popular option for adults who seek the benefits of traditional braces but want a less noticeable treatment. Ceramic braces replace metal braces with tooth-colored composite brackets, mimicking your natural teeth color to become less noticeable. Cleaning will be especially important with ceramic braces, since just like your natural teeth, certain foods can more easily stain the ceramic brackets.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2>How does orthodontic treatment differ for adults?\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>With orthodontic treatment for adults, teeth and jaws are moved into the desired position much the same way as with kids and teens—in response to the gentle pressure placed on them over time by their orthodontic devices. Since the teeth and jaw bones in adults are no longer developing, however, treatment may take a bit longer than it does for younger patients with less dense bones.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>Habits such as smoking, tongue thrust (pushing your tongue between your teeth when you swallow), and clenching or grinding teeth may also impact the length and outcome of adult orthodontic treatment. In severe cases, your orthodontist may need to work with your dentist or enlist a specialist to achieve your desired results.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2>Are adult orthodontics worth it?\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>What’s the value of a confident, healthy smile in your daily life, on special events like weddings, and in your professional career?\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>An improved smile achieved through specialized orthodontic treatment with braces or Invisalign clear aligners will provide psychological and physical health benefits and improved quality of life. Studies show that healthy, straight smiles evoke confidence and self-esteem in relationships, social situations, in business, and in your career, and that individuals who are embarrassed by crowded or crooked teeth don’t smile as often as those with perfect teeth.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>A bad bite, known as a malocclusion, can also create abnormal jaw pain and pressure. Left untreated, it can lead to tooth decay, gum disease, difficulty chewing, and abnormal wearing of tooth enamel. You may also experience headaches, migraines, and TMJ pain. Expert orthodontic treatment alleviates these problems by eliminating the pressure that causes the pain.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>Research also suggests that orthodontic treatment may also help sleep apnea and improve your ability to chew and speak. This makes straighter teeth and proper jaw alignment a vital component of your overall health and wellbeing.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>An investment in orthodontic treatment is an investment in your long-term health, plus it will dramatically decrease the amount you’ll spend on dental and health care across your lifetime. You’ll achieve a healthier, more comfortable bite, avoid life-long pain, and enjoy a lifetime of happier, more confident smiles.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2>Will braces change my face?\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>Typically, braces for adults will impact facial structure less than for teens who are still growing, although you may notice a more balanced and harmonious appearance after correction. The more severe the initial imbalance, the greater the change. But rest assured, you will still look like yourself!\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>This is why it’s so important to work with a highly qualified orthodontist when planning your treatment. The specialized expertise and precision of your Orthodontic Specialists orthodontist will ensure you get both the aesthetic and functional benefits you deserve.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2>Where can I find adult braces near me?\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>If you’d like to learn more about orthodontic treatment for adults, consult your Orthodontic Specialists orthodontist for specialized advice.

After all, the teen years are difficult enough without having to face them with a less than perfect smile. Braces for teens ensure not only a lifetime of happier, more self-confident smiles, but also teeth and jaws that are properly aligned, promoting better oral and physical health.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>Right now, your teen is at the ideal age for addressing orthodontic concerns, since it’s easier to reposition teeth and jaws while they’re still growing. Don’t make the mistake of waiting for orthodontic problems to resolve on their own. Once facial growth is complete, treatment can be more difficult and costly. Your teen may also feel more comfortable addressing problems at a time when friends are undergoing similar treatment.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>Just think how important a healthier, more confident smile can be throughout your child’s life—in daily selfies, graduation photos, during that first job interview, and on their wedding day, for example.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2>Braces for teens offer important health benefits, too\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>A more attractive smile is just one of the many benefits of braces for teens. In addition to building self-esteem and helping your child feel more self-confident with a smile that looks better, having properly aligned teeth can actually improve speech, chewing, breathing, sleeping, and overall health.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>Straighter teeth are also less prone to tooth decay, gum disease, and injuries which can add up to significant savings on dental costs over time. And by increasing jaw mobility, orthodontics for your teenager can spare your child a lifetime of pain and headaches that can come from a misaligned bite.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2>Who needs braces?\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>Does your teen have an overbite, overcrowded teeth, protrusions, or gaps between teeth? If so, it’s time for an evaluation by a specialized orthodontist. Braces for teens can correct these common orthodontic problems and also any underlying issues that only an orthodontist is trained to detect.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>To ensure the ideal timing for orthodontic treatment for your child, the American Association of Orthodontists® recommends an initial orthodontic evaluation around the age of 7. This way, any potential concerns can be monitored to ensure they’re addressed at the most appropriate time, which usually is between 12 to 16 years of age. However, anytime you have concerns about your teen’s smile is the right time for an orthodontic evaluation.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2>What are the different kinds of dental braces for teens?\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, there are now more orthodontic treatment options and different kinds of braces for teenagers than ever before. Your Orthodontic Specialists orthodontist will help you determine the right choice for your child, based on your goals, needs and lifestyle.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>When it comes to braces for teenagers, conventional metal braces have long been one of the most effective treatments for most orthodontic problems. However, many teens are particularly concerned about their appearance and social status at this time in life, so you may also want to consider more discreet options such as ceramic braces or Invisalign® clear aligners.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>There are pros and cons to each treatment option.
