Today, many adults are taking steps to achieve an attractive, healthy smile and are enjoying the confidence that it brings. Orthodontic treatment for adults may range from simple therapy to align teeth to complex therapy to correct misaligned jaws and teeth.
Severely misaligned jaws may require a combination of braces and oral surgery to correct the problem. Regardless of the type of therapy, orthodontic treatment improves the alignment and support of teeth making them easier to clean and, therefore, more likely to last throughout a lifetime.
Advances in orthodontic technology have resulted in more cosmetic braces and lighter, gentler wires. Today’s braces are also smaller and more resilient than those used in past years. They are also more comfortable to wear and offer more choices in appearance—from clear or tooth-colored braces to fun colors.
