A common thought on orthodontic treatment is, it’s for kids or juniors. It’s totally wrong. Because healthy teeth can be moved at any age. Many orthodontic problems can be corrected as easily as for children. Orthodontic treatment has some tools like braces and their forces move and correct teeth in the same way for both adults and children.

You may not want your braces to be seen though. There are many options available today to minimize the appearance of braces. Today’s technology made braces smaller and sleeker and you know what? Some are really near invisible. Your orthodontist can advise you as to what options are recommended for your particular needs and choices.

Maybe you are thinking that using braces can change your lifestyle. No that’s not true. You can do almost anything during orthodontic treatment. You can sing, play an instrument, dine out, kiss have your picture taken and even take selfies. Some adjustments will be necessary of course but like the vast majority of adult or senior patients, you will adjust them quickly. New techniques and materials today have made wearing braces more comfortable than ever.

If you have some missing teeth, do not worry. Orthodontic treatment can create or hold space to replace missing teeth. Your orthodontist will work with the dentist or dental specialist who will provide bridges or implants so that you achieve the best result.

You may also have some gum disease treatment previously. No need to have concerns on this. Your orthodontist will consult your dentist about the health of your gums. If you are a candidate for orthodontic treatment, you will continue regular checks with your dentist. In millions of cases, tooth alignment can improve the health of gums.

And for last word, you may have an anxiety about the cost of this treatment. The cost depends on many variable factors, according the severity, complexity and time of your own case. But be sure that no fee is valuable than your healthy, bright and sure smile.
