It’s undeniable. Straight, well-aligned teeth add confidence at any age and if you’re an adult who somehow missed out on the opportunity to have braces when you were younger or who’s teeth have shifted, you may be wondering if it’s too late.
Well, it’s not. Whether you are 7 or 107, Dr. Brian Leypoldt at Lafayette Family Orthodontics can correct crooked, stuck, or otherwise misaligned teeth with proven methods using the latest techniques and technology to provide you with a smile you are proud to show off.
According to the American Association of Orthodontists, 1 in 5 orthodontic patients is an adult. And like most adults, you want to be well-informed about your options which is what we want to provide for you here at Lafayette Family Orthodontics.
While a charming smile full of straight, white teeth is a sure-fire confidence booster, adult braces aren’t recommended solely for cosmetic reasons.
Adult braces can help improve and prevent a variety of dental issues that go far beyond just creating a straighter smile.
Considering these potential problems, most can see that the initial cost of adult braces may actually eliminate or reduce the need for future costly dental work down the road. Dr. Brian and his staff can help you weigh the cost of adult braces with the benefits of treatment.
Like metal braces, ceramic braces are composed of brackets and wires, but the brackets are clear, making them less noticeable and more appealing to some.
A popular option for adult treatment includes invisible aligners which are clear, custom-made and removable. Over the course of treatment, several sets of these custom clear aligners gradually shift the teeth into a more appropriate position.
A combination of clear aligners on the upper teeth to maximize esthetics, with metal or clear braces on the lower teeth, really get things moving in the right direction. This option can obtain the results you are looking for, while addressing more complex orthodontic situations, and still maintain an invisible look.
Retainers are custom-made removable appliances that keep your teeth from shifting after your treatment has been completed. After you’ve invested plenty of time and money into straightening your smile, you’ll want to make sure it stays that way!
