What Are Adult Braces?

Our orthodontists utilizes dental braces to align and reposition your teeth for improved function and aesthetics. Furthermore, orthodontic braces can aid in maintaining optimal dental health over time. Additionally, dentists can facilitate comfortable and enjoyable eating experiences. Orthodontic appliances such as adult braces gradually shift your teeth in the correct direction by applying gentle force. The force exerted on your teeth causes the underlying jaw bones to undergo remodelling, resulting in tooth and root movement.

If your smile isn’t perfect, you may feel like you’ve missed an opportunity. Typically, orthodontic treatment with braces is initiated during childhood or adolescence. However, your age is not the most significant factor in this situation from a dental perspective. Orthodontic treatment can be a viable option for adults as well.

Maintaining good oral health, however, requires taking care of your teeth and gums. Unfortunately, people who have extensive gum disease or tooth loss may not find adult dental braces to be a good fit. We recommend that you consult with an orthodontics-specialist dentist to find out if you qualify for adult braces.

More About Adult Braces

1

What Are Clear Adult Braces?

Clear braces are a type of orthodontic appliance that can correct misaligned teeth, including overbites and underbites. Clear braces are custom-made aligners designed to fit the patient's mouth and exert pressure on the teeth to move them to the desired position. Unlike traditional metal braces, clear braces are not visible as they are made of transparent material. Clear braces are transparent plastic or acrylic material and are conveniently detachable for the purpose of brushing, eating, and flossing.

Who Needs Clear Braces?

Since clear braces need the patient to take out and wear the aligner, we normally do not advise them for adult and teenage patients. Additionally, patients with modest malocclusion or minor spacing and crowding concerns are the main target audience for these dental appliances. Those with serious orthodontic problems might not be a good fit for these braces. For those who would prefer not to use traditional metal braces to straighten their teeth, clear aligners are a great alternative.

How to Care for Adult Braces

We typically assess the state of your teeth to determine the appropriate course of action for your adult braces treatment.

When you have misaligned teeth, the typical course of treatment involves three fundamental steps:

  • Our dentists utilize brackets, an archwire, and occasionally bands resembling rings to secure the braces.
  • At Zara Dental, our orthodontists periodically adjust braces until they are properly positioned. Following an orthodontic adjustment or tightening, it is common to experience some discomfort in the oral cavity for a few days.
  • Following the removal of your braces, it is necessary to wear a retainer to maintain the position of your teeth.

Adult braces typically require a treatment duration of one to three years, and it is crucial to maintain proper oral hygiene throughout this period. To ensure the effectiveness of braces, it is crucial to maintain a daily oral hygiene routine that includes brushing and flossing, following a nutritious and balanced diet, and scheduling regular dental check-ups.

Apart from improving aesthetic appeal, orthodontics provides the following benefits:

  • Less chance of gum damage and injury from malocclusion and overbite.
  • Less likely to get tooth decay
  • Improvement of self-esteem
  • Better teeth function, such as better chewing and clearer speech and pronunciation.

To accomplish this, the dentists utilize tools such as headgear, plates, and braces, in addition to other dental and medical instruments.
