Yes, adults can achieve great results from orthodontic treatment. It’s increasingly popular for adults to seek treatment for both aesthetic improvements and to enhance oral functionality.
The length of treatment varies widely, depending on the complexity of the case and the chosen method of treatment. Generally, it ranges from 18 months to 3 years, with the specific timeframe determined by a personalized treatment plan.
Tooth extraction for orthodontic purposes depends on individual space requirements and case severity. Our approach aims to preserve natural teeth whenever possible, utilizing advanced techniques to reduce the need for extractions.
Some discomfort is expected as teeth adjust to orthodontic appliances, particularly after fittings and adjustments. This discomfort is usually minor and temporary, manageable with common pain relief methods.
Invisalign is a system of clear, removable aligners used to straighten teeth discreetly. It’s suitable for many patients, offering a less visible alternative to traditional braces. Eligibility for Invisalign can be determined during a free consultation at our office.
Typically, orthodontic check-ups and adjustments occur every 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the individual treatment plan.
Maintaining oral hygiene with braces involves thorough brushing after meals and daily flossing. We provide guidance on effective cleaning techniques for patients with braces.
