Adult Braces…So Many Options Available


Not every parent has the means to provide orthodontic care for their children. Many individuals who were not able to get the care they needed in their teens, are considering straightening either teeth, or their bite, in their adult years. Many are intrepid about the aesthetics of adult braces, and are opting not to proceed with the care they need. The good news is that if you want the straight smile of your dreams, it is never too late as long as your teeth and gums are healthy of course.  Many new advances have been introduced over the past several years that are completely invisible, and completely hidden from the outside world.

Many professionals worry about how braces as an adult will change the way that they are perceived by others in the business world. The options of Invisalign, ceramic braces, or lingual braces, are allowing people to have orthodontic care without anyone knowing. Not altering their aesthetic appearance at all, they can straighten their smile gradually and with little discomfort. Invisalign is a treatment that involves retainer-type devices that can be removed. They work by gradually forcing the teeth into place. Completely clear, they are almost invisible to onlookers. Although a great option for those who only need to have their teeth straightened, they are not appropriate for those who need more structural change to their bite and have more complex problems.

Ceramic braces, another option, and they are made of porcelain.  They are not only clear, they will not stain. They are a great advance for those who need more complex treatment than cannot  be done with Invisalign. Adults who want braces that are completely indistinguishable, are finding that lingual braces, or those worn on the inside, are the best option possible. With so many different treatment plans available, finding the right one for your needs has become increasingly easy. The price of treatment is also variable, with many of the cost being covered through dental insurance.
