Adult Treatment in Bristow
At Modern Orthodontics, we have built our reputation on providing superior orthodontic care to every patient, regardless of age. While most people think of teenagers and preteens when the term “orthodontics” is used, many adults also come to us when they are looking for ways to improve their smiles.
We understand that adults may have some reservations when it comes to getting braces. But rest assured we strive to make the process of your orthodontic treatment as comfortable and convenient as possible by providing a variety of options beyond traditional braces, for example, Invisalign.
Types of adult orthodontic treatments
The dentist can explain the various orthodontic treatment options available for adults. Most adults prefer a system that fits their lifestyle most. This often means choosing a concealed teeth alignment system. More difficult cases may need traditional braces.
A popular choice is the removable clear aligner. The dentist will first create a custom-fit set of trays. These aligners are almost invisible. The patient will need to wear each for two weeks, at least 20-23 hours a day. This system needs discipline and dedication. The patient will need to wear a new set of aligner trays after two weeks.
