One of the best and most popular reasons for adults to get braces is improvements in personal appearance and of course self-esteem. Equally important is the improvement of the oral health.
Teeth and gums can deteriorate with age so it is more important to keep them healthy and clean. Having perfectly aligned teeth makes oral hygiene much easier to maintain and periodontal disease can be reduced significantly.
Crooked and crowded teeth can cause tooth decay and bone loss. In addition, overbite or underbite can lead to abnormal wearing down of the teeth, TMJ problems and inability to chew properly.
If you previously had braces and your teeth are crooked again, especially the front teeth, call Peninsula Orthodontics NOW !!!
What do Adult Braces do?
- They correct the malocclusion, allowing for better chewing ability, and for improving oral and gut health.
- When teeth are spaced or crowded, food can trap in between the teeth which can cause gum disease and tooth decay. Having a perfectly aligned teeth, oral hygiene can be maintained much more easily and periodontal disease can be reduced significantly.
- Orthodontic treatment can lessen jaw pain and headaches, which can be caused by pressures on the ill-fitting teeth.
- Adult braces can improve overall oral health.
What Sort of Treatment Options are Available for Adults
We understand! Braces used to hurt, but not any more. Whether you had braces as a teenager or you never had orthodontic treatment before, here at Peninsula Orthodontic we can take care of your needs. Here are the two most popular treatment options:
- Invisalign Aligners
Invisalign are very discreet because they are tailor-made to your teeth position and virtually invisible. These custom made clear aligners are the preferred choice to straighten teeth more predictably. Dr. Hou will use an iTero scanner which creates 3D images of your teeth to formulate a custom treatment plan just for you. From there, you’ll get a custom treatment plan that’s right for you.
Wearing a series of Invisalign aligners for the prescribed time of 22 hours per day, your teeth will slowly move into the correct position due to the pressure put on them by the aligners. However, you can remove this type of braces to eat and brush your teeth. - Traditional Style
Metal brackets and archwires have come a long way. No longer a sight to behold, your mouth will have subtle brackets and wires running through them. You can even get tooth-colored brackets for extra invisibility.
