Is it too late for orthodontic treatment in adulthood? No !
While we know of the orthodontic treatments that are much more common in children and adolescents, they are also very common in adults. Both lingual and invisible orthodontic treatments are also intended for adult patients. While braces bother some adults in appearance, technological advances are solving this problem and making them increasingly inconspicuous.
New orthodontic treatments for adults and in particular aesthetic treatments are designed to accompany you in everyday life. That is, they are created to be discreet while aligning your new smile in a still very effective way. Invisible orthodontics with Invisalign aligners is a very good example.
What are the possible treatments in orthodontics for adults?
As an adult, you may encounter several unique issues unlike those of children and adolescents. For example, it is possible in adulthood to have restored or missing teeth, dental implants, dental prostheses … All these “defects” or changes made over time can have an impact on the dental movements to be undertaken. . This will determine the type of orthodontic treatment that will be used, namely “orthodontic mechanics”.
Some cases indeed require further analysis due to these factors. Dr Abtan carries out a file for this with in-depth analyzes on which she works in close collaboration with a general dental surgeon. If the case presents the need, our office also works with dental specialists (in implantology for example) to establish the best orthodontic treatment plan. These collaborations allow us to support each of our patients in the most appropriate and best way.
Finally, whatever treatment you wish to perform, whether it includes complete dental rehabilitation or a more basic improvement of your smile, we do a consultation for each of our patients in a very rigorous and neat manner. We invite you to contact us for a first consultation in order to jointly assess your needs and the treatment that will be suitable for you.
