If you are an adult who wants to align your smile but isn’t quite sure if you can because you feel like you’re too old, we’re here to tell you all about orthodontics for adults! You are never too old to align your smile with orthodontic treatment, and it’s never too late to achieve the smile of your dreams. In fact, you will be much better off if you decide to align your smile, and this is why:

Your teeth will finally be straight
Having straight teeth will not only help you feel better about your appearance, but it will also help you maintain a strong and healthy smile and will help you fight off tooth decay and gum disease. This is true because it will be easier to deeply clean your smile each day, even the hard-to-reach areas of your mouth, without missing a spot. The crooked teeth make it nearly impossible to thoroughly brush, floss, and rinse each day.

You will have many treatment options
Instead of worrying about having a metal-filled smile, why not think about the many orthodontic options you have that will make your treatment easier and more convenient? In the world of orthodontics, you have many options when it comes to appliances. Your options include metal braces, ceramic or clear braces, lingual braces, and clear aligners, like Invisalign® and ClearCorrect®.

You will feel better about yourself
Once you have the straight teeth you have always wanted, you will have a boosted self-esteem and you will finally be proud of your smile! You will start to love taking pictures again and you will never feel embarrassed when you separate your lips to talk, laugh, and smile.

As you can see, there are many benefits to aligning your smile as an adult. The only thing that would hold you back from achieving your perfect smile would be if your jaw bone was too weak to handle the quick movements of your teeth. So, call our office today and schedule an appointment so you can find out if your jaw bone is strong enough to support your desire to change your smile. We look forward to meeting with you!
