Treatments? And Options Available for Them

Breaking Down the Stigma
For a long time, there was a stigma associated
with adults undergoing orthodontic treatment.
Fortunately, thats rapidly changing thanks to a
plethora of discreet treatment options and a
growing cultural acceptance of adult
orthodontics. In fact, the American Association
of Orthodontists states that one in four
orthodontic patients is an adult, illustrating
the increasing prevalence and acceptance of adult
orthodontic treatment.

Why Consider Orthodontics as an Adult?
The reasons adults consider orthodontic treatment
are varied. Some may seek to correct problems
that were not adequately addressed during
childhood or adolescent years, such as crowding,
gaps, overbites, or underbites. Others might have
experienced shifts in their teeth alignment due
to aging, dental restorations, or the natural
growth process. Then there are those who simply
want to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing
smile.

Understanding Your Options
One of the biggest advancements in adult
orthodontics is the variety and sophistication of
treatment options now available. Gone are the
days of bulky, metal braces being the only
choice. Here are some of the most popular options
among adults today
5
Addressing Concerns and Expectations
Adult patients often come with different concerns
than younger patients, including longer potential
treatment times due to denser bone tissue, the
health of the gums, and how orthodontics might
fit into their professional and personal lives.
It's essential to have an honest conversation
with your orthodontist about these concerns. Most
are easily manageable with the right approach and
technology.

Preparing for Treatment
If you're considering orthodontics, the first
step is to consult with a qualified orthodontist.
They will evaluate your specific needs, discuss
potential treatment options, and outline the
expected timeline and cost. This consultation is
also an excellent opportunity to address any
concerns or questions you may have.
