If you are an adult with a crooked smile, you may be wondering if you’ve missed your chances of straightening your teeth. The answer is emphatically “No”! It is never too late to get braces and achieve the straighter smile you have always wanted. Orthodontics are designed for both children and adults. In fact, recent surveys suggest that 1 in every 5 orthodontic patients is an adult.
There are a variety of reasons why adults seek orthodontic correction with an orthodontist in Suwanee GA, including the following:
Appearance – Many adults feel self-conscious about their crooked, crowded or gapped teeth. Therefore, they may want braces to improve their overall appearance and boost their self-confidence. In addition, many adults realize the impact that straight teeth can have on their professional career, so getting braces becomes a step towards better marketability.
Re-straightening – It is possible for adults to need orthodontic re-treatment if they had braces as a child and their teeth have shifted back to their original, misaligned position. Neglecting the retention phase (wearing a retainer) of their treatment is a common reason for this scenario.
Improved Oral Health – A straight smile is not just about aesthetics. Straight, properly aligned teeth also support optimal oral health. They are easier to keep clean, which reduces the risk for decay and gum disease.
Better Affordability – It is also very common for patients to seek braces as an adult because their family didn’t have the funds for orthodontics when they were a child. Not only are many adults in a better financial position to afford braces now, but there are also more budget-friendly options in today’s orthodontic treatment menu.
At Walton Orthodontics, we are pleased to help patients of all ages take advantage of a straighter smile. If you are an adult who thinks it is too late to get braces, think again! Schedule a consult with us today; we are leaders in adult orthodontics.
