Why Consider Orthodontic Treatment as an Adult?
Improved Oral Health
Straight teeth are easier to clean and maintain. Misaligned teeth can create hard-to-reach areas where plaque and bacteria build up, leading to gum disease and tooth decay. Orthodontic treatment helps align your teeth properly, making oral hygiene more effective and reducing the risk of dental issues.
Enhanced Esthetics and Confidence
A beautiful smile can significantly boost your self-esteem and confidence. Many adults seek orthodontic treatment to improve their appearance, which can positively impact both personal and professional interactions. With advancements in orthodontic technology, there are now discreet options available that make the treatment process more appealing.
Correcting Long Standing Issues
Adults may choose orthodontic treatment to address issues that have been present since childhood, such as crowding, spacing, or bite problems. Correcting these issues can improve not only the appearance of your smile but also the function of your bite, leading to better overall dental health.
Orthodontic Options for Adults
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners offer a discreet alternative to traditional braces. These clear, removable aligners are custom-made to fit snugly over your teeth, gradually moving them into the desired position. Invisalign is particularly appealing to adults who want a nearly invisible treatment option
Braces
Traditional braces are a reliable and effective option for correcting various orthodontic issues. Modern braces are more comfortable and less noticeable than ever before, making them a popular choice for adults.
The Treatment Process
Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation at Strouse Orthodontics. During this visit, Dr. Strouse will evaluate your dental health, discuss your goals, and recommend the best treatment options for your needs.
Customized Treatment Plan
Once you decide on a treatment option, we'll create a personalized plan tailored to your specific needs. This plan outlines the expected duration of treatment and provides an overview of the process.
Active Treatment Phase
The active phase of treatment involves wearing braces or aligners as directed. Regular appointments are scheduled to monitor your progress and make necessary adjustments. Our team is committed to ensuring your comfort and success throughout this phase.
Retention Phase
After achieving your desired results, the retention phase begins. This involves wearing a retainer to maintain your new smile and prevent teeth from shifting back to their original positions. Dr. Strouse will provide guidance on how to care for and use your retainer effectively.
