Why Choose Orthodontic Treatment as an Adult?
Many adults believe orthodontic care is only for children or teens, but that’s far from the truth. Adults make up a growing number of orthodontic patients for good reasons:
- Improved Oral Health: Straight teeth are easier to clean than crooked teeth, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
- Enhanced Confidence: A straighter smile can significantly boost self-esteem in personal and professional settings.
- Better Functionality: Correcting misaligned teeth and jaws can alleviate issues like difficulty chewing or speaking and reduce wear on teeth.
It’s never too late to enjoy the benefits of a beautiful, functional smile.
Advanced Options for Adult Orthodontic Care
At Paul DiFranco Orthodontics, we offer a range of modern orthodontic treatments designed with adults in mind. These types of braces are effective, discreet, and tailored to fit your lifestyle:
-
Spark™ Clear Aligners: Nearly invisible aligners that gradually move teeth into place. Ideal for professionals or anyone who wants a subtle treatment option.
-
Damon Braces: These are self-ligating orthodontic systems that use a specialized sliding mechanism to hold the archwire, reducing friction and pressure on the teeth. This system allows for more comfortable and efficient tooth movement.
-
Lingual Braces: Placed on the back of teeth, these braces are completely hidden.
-
Traditional Metal Brackets: Still a reliable choice for adults needing significant adjustments.
Our team works with you to select the best solution based on your goals, oral health, and daily needs.
