More and more adults are opting in for orthodontic treatment. With modern advancements in technology, it’s never been easier to invest in your smile with braces.
Gone are the days of clunky, noticeable appliances. Contemporary braces use sophisticated features with sleek, low-profile components that blend in with your smile without making you compromise your treatment results.
Braces can help you achieve a natural smile no matter your age. So let’s take a look into some different options for adult braces and how this kind of orthodontic care can benefit you.
Adult braces come in different types, such as Damon Ultima braces (which come in clear and metal versions), clear aligners, ceramic braces, and metal braces. Each of these kinds of braces offers its own advantages, and no matter your lifestyle or goals, you should always choose braces that make sense for you.
Dr. Koen offers her patients the best technology in the world. For her, Damon braces allow her to do things she can’t do with other appliances.
The passive self-ligation system decreases the force on the teeth, so it makes it more comfortable and more efficient for patients.
Ultima, the latest version of the Damon braces, is finishing cases even more efficiently than ever before. Fewer appointments are required and the beautiful smiles and excellent bites are created with even greater ease.
Many people think that metal brackets are their only option when it comes to braces, but ceramic braces can give you another viable option for orthodontic treatment. Ceramic braces are significantly less visible than metal braces. The most you might see is a thin wire running across your teeth!
Ceramic braces may require a bit more attention than some other options, but they are also engineered to meet the demands of any busy adult. With this in mind, they can fit perfectly into your lifestyle.
Damon Clear Braces are made from a clear ceramic material that blends into the color of your teeth. Their compact and discreet design makes them a popular choice for people who want a low-profile braces treatment.
There are limitless benefits to adult braces. First, orthodontics plays a significant role in periodontal health, otherwise known as the health of your gums. Misaligned or crooked teeth are harder to clean which can lead to problems with the gums and bone supporting your teeth. Straightening your teeth can reduce or even help prevent problems with your gums.
Second, misaligned teeth can cause significant biting, or chewing, or speaking problems. Poor dental alignment can be one of the causal factors of TMD ( dysfunction of your jaw joints). The sooner you can correct these problems, the sooner you’ll feel less discomfort whenever you’re eating or talking.
Lastly, a natural, straightened smile also boosts your confidence and makes you feel like your best self. As it’s part of a first impression, it’s important you feel comfortable with your smile!
