ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT FOR ADULTS

Helping Adults Receive New, Beautiful Smiles

Everyone can reap the benefits of a beautiful, straight and healthy smile. It’s never too late to perfect your smile—just ask the increasing number of adults who are rushing to receive orthodontic treatment. In fact, nearly half of all orthodontic patients are actually adults who are hoping to achieve the smile they’ve always wanted. Many adult patients find that our treatment menu is full of options that work with their budget, their lifestyle and their needs. From traditional metal braces to clear aligner systems, Dr. Parks and our amazing orthodontic team here at Parks Orthodontics will work with you to find the adult orthodontic treatment option that works best for you.

HOW DOES TREATMENT FOR ADULTS WORK?

While it’s true that teens’ teeth move more quickly than adults’ due to their growing jaws, it doesn’t mean that adults’ teeth can’t move, too! An adult’s teeth will move more slowly than a teen’s, but orthodontic treatment for adults is just as effective and has just as many benefits. In fact, your teeth can move at any age, as long as your bone structure and gums are healthy. We offer two options designed for adult orthodontic treatment. Your journey to a new smile can begin as early as today!

Benefits Of Orthodontic Treatment For Adults

At Parks Orthodontics, we enjoy working with patients of all ages, and we love seeing our adult patients receive the smile they’ve always dreamed of. Adults who receive orthodontic treatment later in life are usually looking to improve their appearance and find confidence in their smile. Besides the aesthetics of a new, straight smile, orthodontic treatment for adults actually has many additional benefits. Some of these benefits include:

Improving the health of your teeth and gums is equally as important as having an aesthetically-pleasing smile. Crooked teeth and a bad bite can contribute to gum and bone loss, tooth decay, abnormal wear of the tooth enamel and surfaces, headaches and jaw joint pain. Improving your smile improves your overall health.

A new smile does wonders for your confidence. You can go about your day flashing your new smile without worrying about what others may think.

Treatment Options For Adults

At Parks Orthodontics, we’re here to help you find the treatment that works best for your needs. We have two different treatment options: Invisalign® and braces. Both have many benefits and are great treatment options to help you achieve your dream smile.

Invisalign®

If you’re looking for a treatment option that is nearly invisible, Invisalign® may be the right treatment for you. Invisalign® uses a series of clear aligners that are custom-made just for you and your teeth. They have no wires or brackets, making it a more comfortable treatment option, and they are also removable, so you can eat whatever you want.

Braces

Braces are a tried and true treatment option, and they’re no longer just for teens. Many adults opt for traditional metal braces. You don’t have to worry about removing them for eating and drinking. Plus, today’s modern braces are sleeker and less bulky than ever, meaning they are less noticeable and more comfortable.
