If you’re considering adult orthodontics but think it’s too late to straighten your teeth, we want to assure you that it’s not! With today’s orthodontic options, more and more adults are undergoing treatment and achieving the smiles they’ve always wanted.
Your Glendale dentist can evaluate your teeth and help you choose the best option for your needs and goals.
Remember, orthodontics is about more than smile aesthetics. Straight teeth also contribute to oral function and tooth longevity, improving your bite or reducing tooth wear.
Orthodontic Options for Adults
Today’s options mean a shorter time in treatment or a more visually discreet experience.
Inman® Aligners
Discreet aligners like Invisalign® or Inman are ideal for adults who do not want to spend a year or more in traditional bracket braces. With Inman aligners, you can straighten your teeth discreetly without traditional brackets and wires. These aligners are virtually invisible; many people won’t notice you’re in treatment.
We create aligners from impressions of your teeth; you wear them according to your dentist’s timeline and schedule. You can remove your aligners to eat and clean your teeth.
Braces/Powerprox Six Month Braces
Modern braces can correct your smile line in as little as six months. These cosmetic braces concentrate on the teeth that show when you smile, which speeds up your treatment timeline. The Powerprox system does not change your bite and relies on tooth-colored brackets and wires for discretion.
After Adult Orthodontics
After treatment, your dentist creates a retainer that fits over the teeth. You wear it at night to ensure your teeth stay in their new straight positions. It’s essential to wear your retainer to prevent orthodontic relapse.
