Adult Braces
Adult Orthodontics For All Ages
Adult braces have become increasingly common in Sarasota as more adults seek to improve their dental health and enhance their smiles. While orthodontic treatment is often associated with teens, adults of all ages come to our office for braces to address a variety of dental concerns. Some of the reasons they see an orthodontist are to correct crowded teeth, improve bite function, and close gaps between teeth.
Adult Braces Options
Dr. Chan has an exceptional amount of experience and will offer Invisalign clear aligners, metal braces, and clear braces. The fact that these options can be nearly invisible has made orthodontic treatment more appealing to adults who may have hesitated due to concerns about appearance during professional or social interactions.
Benefits of Seeing an Adult Orthodontist
One significant benefit of adult braces is vast improvement in oral health and prevention of further tooth wear and fractures. Misaligned teeth can contribute to various dental problems, including difficulty in cleaning leading to cavities, increased risk of gum disease, and jaw (TMJ) pain. By undergoing orthodontic treatment, adults can achieve straighter teeth and a properly aligned bite, which not only enhances your smile but also promotes better oral hygiene and reduces the risk of dental complications in the long term.
