Orthodontic Treatment for Adults
Braces: Not Just for Kids Anymore
The notion that braces are exclusively for children is outdated. You can achieve tooth alignment improvements at any age, provided that your gums and bone structure are in good health. Our practice offers a range of treatment options designed for various age groups, including adults. Embarking on the journey to a new smile is possible today. Orthodontic treatment in adulthood can bring about significant enhancements in your personal appearance and self-confidence. Equally important is the positive impact on the health of your teeth and gums. Misaligned teeth and improper bite can contribute to issues like gum and bone loss, tooth decay, abnormal wear on tooth surfaces, as well as headaches and jaw joint (TMJ/TMD) discomfort.
Modern Techniques and Appliance Options
At Ochoa Orthodontics, we employ contemporary techniques and appliances that significantly minimize discomfort, reduce the frequency of office visits, shorten treatment duration, and offer you a range of choices. These options may encompass traditional metal braces, clear braces, Invisalign, or lingual braces (braces positioned behind the teeth). In your initial examination, we will determine the most suitable treatment plan tailored to your unique requirements. During this consultation, we will clarify the treatment schedule, expected duration, and provide an estimate of the cost. A substantial portion of our patients are adults, and they concur that it’s never too late to enhance one of their most valuable assets’ their smile.
