Orthodontic options for adults
Ideally, children and teenagers would be the appropriate age to make changes to the positioning of their teeth, however, with modern technology more and more adults are opting for orthodontic treatments to help straighten their teeth and keep it in good health.
If you're weighing up treatment, our article on considering adult braces covers what to expect and the decisions worth making first.
For a closer look at the treatment options themselves, read our adult braces guide.
How Orthodontic Treatment Helps
Orthodontic treatments can assist with the straightening and strengthening of teeth that are crooked or misaligned. It can also help prevent teeth from decaying and improve oral problems associated with bite.
The orthodontic treatment procedure may take a longer period of time in adults due to the lack of bone growth after a certain age. In some cases treatments could last around two years.
Prevent Decay
Straightened teeth are easier to clean
Improve Bite
Better oral function and comfort
There are two most common types of orthodontic treatments which are suitable for adults. These include:
Traditional braces
Metal or ceramic brackets are attached to your teeth and connected by wires. Your orthodontist plans and monitors the tooth movement throughout treatment.
We’ll explain the available fixed-brace options and the care involved.
Clear braces for adults use tooth-coloured ceramic brackets. They offer a less noticeable fixed-brace option, and we can discuss their suitability during your assessment.
Invisalign
Invisalign uses removable clear aligners. At your consultation, we’ll explain whether aligners are suitable for you and discuss the wearing routine, cleaning and review appointments involved.
