People of any age can get braces to straighten their teeth. While orthodontic treatment is faster in young people, teeth can be moved at any point in adulthood. Additionally, there are more orthodontic treatment options available for adults to choose from.
Poor tooth alignment can negatively impact your oral health and quality of living. Getting orthodontic treatment could improve the health of your mouth in addition to boosting your confidence about the way your smile looks.
There are some teeth alignment issues that are not immediately noticeable when you smile. While crooked teeth are an obvious problem, there may be other issues with your jaw alignment that could be improved with orthodontic treatment.
If you are worried about how metal braces will look, rest assured that they have actually become something of a fashion statement these days. Additionally, there are now multiple discreet treatment options you can choose from if you are not interested in wearing metal braces.
Visit any orthodontic practice and you will hear some large numbers quoted. The materials used in braces and the training behind orthodontic treatment do make it a significant investment.
At Ocean Orthodontics, however, we strive to make orthodontic treatment accessible by helping others manage the cost of braces. We can help you to attain an insurance rebate or set you up with a flexible payment plan or even offer a discount, in qualifying situations.
The materials used in metal braces are too light to trigger any alerts in airport metal detectors.
You will only have to avoid certain foods for the duration of your treatment if you get traditional metal braces. If you qualify, you can choose to have your treatment done with an alternative such as Invisalign® clear aligners. These aligners are removable so you can take them out at mealtimes to eat whatever you wish without worrying that you will damage them.
Straightening your teeth does require some commitment on your part, but modern orthodontic techniques have made treatment easier than ever before.
Here at Ocean Orthodontics, we make treatment convenient in several ways by offering:
Everyone is different. Some people with minor orthodontic issues can get a straighter smile within just three to six months More complicated cases can take 12 to 18 months. By scheduling a free initial consultation with our specialist orthodontist, you can get an estimate of how long your treatment should take.
This is only partly true. While braces or aligners can make a major difference in your smile, you will still have to wear a retainer to help keep your teeth in their new positions. Your orthodontist will give you personalised instructions on how to maintain a straight smile after your orthodontic treatment is completed.
