Adult Orthodontics

It is common knowledge that tooth alignment and shape do change overtime and orthodontic treatment later in life therefore becomes a necessity. People who ignore misaligned teeth in adolescence will admit that braces will always take longer than usual to show any effect in adulthood. In spite of this, there are various discreet or inconspicuous brace systems that will work well for people who need to wear them in adulthood.

Orthodontic Predicaments/Problems

Orthodontic treatments are used for a number of orthodontic problems that range from gentle to severe. Some of these problems include the following:

  • Crooked teeth
  • Overcrowded teeth
  • Protruding teeth
  • Improper bite
  • Irregularly spaced teeth
  • Malocclusion

When these conditions are left untreated, they can lead to the following complications:

  • Jaw pain
  • Possible Temporomandibular joint disorder(TMJ)

Orthodontic conditions have also been known to negatively affect the following:

  • Pronunciation and communication
  • Chewing ability
  • Nutrition
  • Oral health
  • Self esteem

It is important for your dentist to give you a thorough check-up before commencing on any orthodontic treatment which is exactly what happens at our clinic. Among the various treatment options available include veneers and invincible braces. For a beautiful smile, our dentists will provide teeth that are perfectly aligned elevating your self-esteem.

Modern Braces

Unlike in the past, today's braces are fashioned to be as discreet as possible so as to ensure that they are not obvious to everyone. For a natural look and comfortable feel, modern brackets and aligners are constructed from clear and transparent plastic materials and tooth colored ceramic.

While some aligners like invisalign will fit over the teeth the same way a mouth shield does, others like Inman Aligner are constructed to provide detailed alignment of the front teeth. It is only after a thorough assessment that a dentist will be able to advice on a particular orthodontic treatment. Because modern orthodontic treatments are fashioned with comfort and convenience as the top most priorities, even the adults will have no problem enjoying their favorite food or other favorite activities.

There are also clients who do no not wish to undergo any orthodontic treatment procedure especially those whose teeth are misaligned slightly, in such cases; we will offer other options like porcelain veneers to reshape the teeth, to improve symmetry and to improve facial expression. For a straighter and extremely natural look, porcelain veneers can be fitted over existing teeth.
