5 Reasons You Should Consider Adult Orthodontic Treatment

Ideally, correcting orthodontic issues as a child or young teen is best. However, this doesn’t mean you can’t enhance your smile as an adult. Adult orthodontic treatment typically works just as well as orthodontics in your younger years. If you’re putting up with orthodontic issues like crooked, protruding, overlapping, or crowded teeth, talk to your orthodontic specialist from SV Orthodontics in Toronto, Ontario, to see what adult orthodontics can do!

5 Reasons to Consider Adult Orthodontic Treatment

It’s never too late to improve the quality of your smile. Through orthodontics, Drs. Elise Vincelette and Raman Samra can transform your flawed smile into one that’s attractive, straight, and even. Adult orthodontic treatment is more common than people think! Here are five reasons to consider this treatment in your adult years.

1. Multiple Orthodontic Options to Choose From

Orthodontics has come a long way over the years, way beyond the traditional metal brackets and wires of the past. Although metal braces are still a good option, you can also choose ceramic/clear braces that are more discreet. There’s also the option of removable, clear aligners like Invisalign that are so translucent that they’re nearly invisible on your teeth.

2. Maturity to Handle the Treatment

As an adult, you’re mature enough to follow through with the stipulations of your treatment to get optimal results. You’re more capable of caring for your braces or aligners and practicing good oral hygiene to avoid the risk of cavities, which can delay your treatment.

3. Improved Oral Health

A straighter smile is just the beginning of adult orthodontics. You also benefit from fewer dental issues in your adult years. Straightening crooked teeth and closing gaps makes brushing and flossing much easier, helping you avoid problems with cavities and gum disease. Correcting your bite relieves painful chewing and improves jaw alignment to avoid TMJ issues. Fixing problems with overcrowding can improve your speech and prevent undue wear and tear on your teeth.

4. More Dietary Choices/Better Digestion

Orthodontic treatment corrects dental issues that impair chewing, allowing you to eat more comfortably and enjoy a more balanced diet. Improved chewing leads to better digestion, giving you greater nutritional value from your food. A healthy diet will contribute to better health and wellness in the future.

5. A Confident, Healthy Smile  

Adult orthodontic treatment can give you a healthy, confident smile you can show off proudly. You’ll no longer feel embarrassed about your teeth or your appearance. You can smile confidently, knowing your teeth are strong, healthy, and attractive – just like you always wanted them to be!
