Adult Orthodontic Treatments in Palos Hills

Achieving a healthy, confident smile is possible at any age. At Paul DiFranco Orthodontics, one of our areas of specialization is adult orthodontics. We offer personalized care to address the unique needs of adult patients in Palos Hills. If you want to improve your oral health, enhance your smile, or fix misalignment issues, we can help. Our personalized approach will ensure you get the best results.

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.

Addressing Concerns Unique to Adults

Adults often have different orthodontic concerns than younger patients. Our practice is experienced in handling these challenges:

  • Dental Restorations: If you have crowns, bridges, or implants, we customize your treatment to work around these restorations.
  • Gum Health: Orthodontic care is planned with your periodontal health in mind, ensuring treatment improves your oral health.
  • Efficiency: Advanced techniques and technologies reduce treatment times and minimize discomfort.

Dr. DiFranco understands the importance of balancing effective care with a busy lifestyle. We strive to make your orthodontic journey as convenient and comfortable as possible.

The Lifestyle Benefits of Adult Braces

Orthodontic care offers more than aesthetic improvements. Here are some long-term benefits of straightening your teeth as an adult:

  • Reduced Risk of Oral Health Issues: Misaligned teeth can lead to uneven wear, decay, or jaw problems.
  • Better Digestion: Properly aligned teeth help you chew food more effectively, aiding in digestion.
  • Cost Savings: Addressing orthodontic issues now can prevent more expensive dental procedures in the future.

A healthier smile means better overall wellness, making adult braces a worthwhile investment.
