Many adults who missed the chance to get braces when they were younger may wonder if it's too late. While some adults may not be concerned about misaligned teeth, others find it to be an ongoing issue. The question often arises: "Can I still get braces?" The answer is yes. Braces are not just for children; adults can also benefit from orthodontic treatment as long as their oral and overall health is in good condition. If you're considering braces, an orthodontist in Armidale can help you explore your options.
Braces are traditionally associated with metal and wires stuck to the teeth and most adults do not like this idea, therefore this becomes a hindrance for having orthodontic. Thanks to the current technology which allows adults to have braces that are completely invisible and discrete. At Markham Street dental we offer clear aligner therapy by Sure Smile. Invisible braces are a series of transparent clear aligners designed to progressively straighten the teeth and move them in to an ideal position. The following are the benefits of clear aligners over traditional braces
They are invisible- The aligners are made of transparent plastic designed to move teeth therefore they won’t be visible. Each set of aligners is worn for a specified period then change in to the next.
They are removable- this are removed for eating, drinking, and brushing your teeth. Makes it easier to clean the aligners and the teeth.
Comfortable- clear aligners feels smooth to the lips and cheeks
