Embracing Adult Braces
Orthodontic treatment with braces can be the best way to resolve tooth and jaw alignment issues that many adults have been dealing with since childhood.
Unfortunately, many adults are discouraged from seeking treatment for orthodontic issues due to concerns about how braces might impact their appearance.
We would like to encourage adults to change their perspective. Today's braces are not the clunky, mouth-full-of-metal that you may be thinking of. Today's braces are much more subtle in appearance. At Woodstock Orthodontics, we offer Damon™ self-ligating braces so that you can get the orthodontic treatment you need with a more discreet look.
Our team loves how braces look, and we encourage you to embrace them. If you decide to embrace the look of braces, they can add a fun and quirky element to your style.
Orthodontic Care is for Everyone
It's never too late to start your orthodontic journey! If you're an adult who has been living with misalignments and bite problems since childhood, orthodontic treatment can be life-changing.
More About Orthodontics for AdultsThe Benefits of Braces for Adults
With the availability of orthodontic treatment with clear aligners, you may be wondering why certain adults choose braces instead. Here are a few reasons:
Versatility
Clear aligners can be great for mild or moderate misalignments, but they may not be strong enough to realign more complex cases. Because they are strong and can be adjusted as you go, braces can resolve pretty much any misalignment.
Efficiency
Because braces can apply more force than clear aligners, they may be more efficient. In some cases, braces may lead to a faster treatment than clear aligners would.
Ease of Compliance
While there are many lifestyle benefits to removable aligners, if you're not sure you can trust yourself to always remember to put them back in, then fixed dental braces may be a better option for you. Fixed dental braces cannot be removed by anyone but your orthodontist, which means you can't forget to put them in, or lose them, the way you can with aligners.
Braces in Woodstock
Braces apply constant pressure to the teeth using brackets and an archwire to shift them slowly into alignment.
Our clinic in Woodstock offers Damon brand self-ligating braces, which use a closed bracket system for a lower profile, greater comfort, and easier cleaning.
