ProviderBraces for Treating Grown-Up Smiles at Munk Orthodontics
For many adults, orthodontic treatment with braces is the ideal way to efficiently and effectively resolve tooth and jaw misalignments that they've been dealing with since childhood.
If you've been considering orthodontic treatment as an adult, but have been hesitating because you're concerned about how braces look, we encourage you to reconsider your perspective.
These days, more subtle options like Damon™ self ligating braces with their clear brackets mean you can work towards the smile you've always wanted without the bulk and poking of braces from the past.
At Munk Orthodontics, we believe that if you embrace braces as part of your orthodontic journey, they can be a unique and striking element of your personal style.
But there are other benefits of braces for adults as well. We'll look at some of them below.
A Beautiful Smile at Any Age
It's never too late to start your orthodontic journey! If you're an adult who has been living with misalignments and bite problems since childhood, orthodontic treatment can be life-changing.
More About Orthodontics for AdultsThe Benefits of Braces for Adults
With the availability of orthodontic treatment with clear aligners like Invisalign® and Spark™ Aligners, you may be wondering why our orthodontists recommend braces to many of our adult patients. Here are a few reasons.
Treatment Versatility
Clear aligners can be great for mild or moderate misalignments, but they can be impractical for more complex cases. Braces can resolve pretty much any misalignment, no matter how complicated.
Efficient Tooth Movement
Braces can apply greater force more quickly than clear aligners, meaning treatment with braces may be more efficient in some cases. This makes it an appealing option for adults who just want to see results fast.
Ease of Compliance
We know there are lots of lifestyle benefits to removable aligners, but if you're likely to be tempted to take your aligners out for 'breaks', or if you might forget to put them back in immediately after eating, braces may be a better option for you.
Braces Treatment at Munk Orthodontics
Orthodontic braces traditionally straighten teeth using a combination of brackets, elastic bands, and wires.
But today's braces aren't the clunky, uncomfortable face-full-of-metal that you might be picturing from decades ago.
We offer a variety of braces styles that are more streamlined, comfortable, and discreet than ever before.
