Treatment For Adults
The purpose of orthodontic treatment is to create a healthy functional “bite”. Not only does Orthodontic treatment help with the appearance of a better smile, it also helps with the life span of your teeth and gums, your overall health and your confidence!
Having straight teeth and an ideal bite makes it easier for you to chew, speak and bite. Improper alignment can cause various issues such as tooth decay, chewing difficulties, gum or periodontal disease, enamel wear, jaw or joint problems, speech problems, headaches and more.
Adults are aware of the importance of oral health and many want to do orthodontics to improve their oral health or to best prepare their dentition for other dental restorations; taking advantage of more beautiful smiles at the same time. They are a major part of orthodontic patients. Although, adults need more care comparing to children as they might have experienced gum recession or even bone loss due to periodontal disease. Some also have worn or missing teeth that needs to be replaced and will need multidisciplinary approach for a good treatment result.
