In today's world, orthodontic treatment is no longer just for teenagers. More adults than ever are choosing to improve their smiles and oral health through orthodontics. At East Windsor Dental Arts, we understand that every patient has unique needs and goals when it comes to their smile. That's why we offer a range of orthodontic options tailored to adult patients.
Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry focused on the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of dental and facial irregularities. It involves using appliances such as braces or clear aligners to gradually move teeth into their proper positions, improving both function and appearance.
Braces have come a long way since the days of metal mouth. Today's adults can choose from several discreet options, including:
Ceramic Braces: These braces use clear or tooth-colored brackets to blend in with your teeth.
Lingual Braces: Attached to the back of your teeth, these braces are completely hidden from view.
Clear Aligners: Custom-made trays made of smooth, comfortable plastic that gradually guide your teeth into place.
Each option has its own benefits and drawbacks, which we'll discuss during a consultation to determine the best fit for you.
Many adults assume that orthodontic treatment is only for children and teenagers. However, there are numerous reasons why adults might choose to undergo orthodontic treatment. Some of these benefits include:
Improved Oral Health: Crooked or crowded teeth can be difficult to clean, increasing the risk of tooth decay and gum disease.
Enhanced Confidence: A straighter smile can boost your self-esteem and make a positive first impression.
Better Digestion: Properly aligned teeth allow for more efficient chewing, aiding in digestion.
Reduced Wear and Tear on Teeth: When teeth are misaligned, they can wear down unevenly or be subjected to excessive force, leading to damage over time.
At East Windsor Dental Arts, we understand that every adult has unique needs when it comes to orthodontic treatment. That's why we offer personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient's goals and lifestyle.
At our practice, we're proud to offer a range of orthodontic services designed to meet the unique needs of adult patients. Some of these services include:
