Adult Orthodontic Treatment For A Beautiful Smile

An increasing number of adults are becoming aware of the benefits of orthodontic treatment.  Not only will you benefit from a beautiful smile, but your overall health and your dental health will benefit too.  Crooked, misaligned teeth can lead to periodontal disease, which has been linked to heart disease and strokes. 

With orthodontic treatment, you can be happy with your smile and have a healthy mouth, no matter your age.

If the stigma of braces is discouraging you, there are alternatives, including Clear Aligner Therapy.

In some cases, orthodontic correction may be achieved in as little as 4 to 5 months.

Do You Need Orthodontic Treatment?

• Teeth that are crowded and rotated.
• Teeth have spaces between them.
• Protruding upper or lower teeth.
• Misalignment of jaw joints where they hinge.

Up to 25% of Dr. Gail’s patients are adults, ranging in age from their 20’s to their 60’s. The orthodontic process is the same for adults as for children.

However, treatment can be complicated by the fact that adult bone is denser, which can make it more difficult to reposition adult teeth. Also, on occasion, the adult has lost some teeth prior to orthodontic treatment. This, too, can make orthodontic treatment more complex. But after a thorough evaluation and appropriate orthodontic treatment, adults can achieve dramatic improvements in their smile, their appearance, and their dental health.

Clear Aligner Therapy

Clear Aligner Therapy consists of a series of alignment forms that fit over your teeth in progression and are replaced about every 3 weeks.  Each alignment form is crafted specifically to gradually help shift your teeth into their new positions.

Best of all, Clear Aligner Therapy results in minimal interference to your day-to-day life.

• Clear Aligner appliances are smooth and won’t irritate gum tissue.
• Clear Aligner appliances are almost invisible and can be worn without attracting embarrassing comments.
• Clear Aligner appliances can be removed to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
• Bottom line: Clear Aligner Therapy is effective.

Clear Aligner Therapy can be used for many cases of malocclusion or crooked teeth ranging from mild to moderate in nature.  A free consultation is all it takes to find out if this treatment will work for you.  Contact Creating Stellar Smiles today to learn more.
