Although many people think that orthodontics is only for teenagers and children 1 in 4 (20%) of patients receiving orthodontic treatments are adults! Orthodontics has been proven to be an excellent treatment for adults struggling with issues they may have had since childhood. 

While people may have received treatment during their teenage years, due to factors such as limitations with their original treatment, some may require more treatment as an adult.

• Addressing any missing teeth and closing existing gaps.

Leaving misaligned teeth untreated may lead to other dental problems such as tooth decay and gum disease. Receiving treatment from our orthodontist in Palm Beach Gardens, FL can help. 

Braces

Today, there are more orthodontic treatment options and different kinds of braces available for teenagers and adults. Conventional/modern braces utilize metal brackets and wires to correct the widest array of dental issues including bite issues, as well as, crowded teeth, gaps in the teeth, and straightening teeth, and correcting jaw misalignment. 

Invisalign

Many of today’s treatment options are designed to minimize the appearance of the appliance to better fit any lifestyle. Teenagers and adults can be self-conscious about their appearance, which makes them hesitant to get traditional braces. 

3D images of your teeth are used to create a pair of custom see-through trays that fit a person’s teeth and mouth. Invisalign clear aligners are clear retainer-like dental appliances, that will essentially do the same thing as metal braces, which are to effectively be molded to move one’s teeth into the correct position and alignment. 

The aligners are a great alternative option for teens who are self-conscious about the appearance of their teeth because they are clear and practically invisible to the eye when on someone’s teeth. 

Invisalign does take less time to align your teeth than traditional metal brackets and wires, but it depends on various factors how long it will take to correct one’s smile, so it’s important to consult with your orthodontist about what’s best for you and your teeth. 

Traditional Braces Or Invisalign? 

Our team of orthodontists will help you determine the right choice of braces based on your individual needs and goals. It’s important to remember that everyone is different, and therefore, what may work best for you may not work for others.
