Embracing Braces for Adults at Duong Orthodontics
For many adults, orthodontic treatment with braces can effectively address misalignment and bite issues that they have been experiencing since childhood.
If you’re an adult thinking about orthodontic treatment but worried about how braces will look, we encourage you to reconsider. These days, subtle options like translucent (ceramic) braces mean you can get the orthodontic treatment you need with a more discreet appearance.
At Duong Orthodontics, we love how all styles of braces look. If you truly embrace them, they can become a distinctive and eye-catching aspect of your personal style during orthodontic treatment.
Orthodontic Care is for Everyone
It's never too late to start your orthodontic journey! If you're an adult who has experienced misalignments and bite problems since childhood, orthodontic treatment can be transformative.
More About Orthodontics for AdultsThe Benefits of Braces for Adults
As clear aligners become more accessible, many adults still opt for traditional braces. Here are some of the reasons why.
Versatility
Clear aligners can be great for mild or moderate misalignments but may not be the best option for more complex cases. We can use braces to address nearly any misalignment we're faced with, regardless of how complex it is.
Efficiency
Braces can apply greater force more quickly than clear aligners, meaning treatment with braces may be more efficient in some cases. This makes them an appealing option for adults who want to get their treatment over with.
Ease of Compliance
Removable aligners offer many lifestyle benefits, but if you're not sure you will be able to remember to put them back in, fixed dental braces may be a better option.
Types of Braces at Duong Orthodontics
Our office offers two types of braces to help meet adults' practical needs and esthetic preferences.
Traditional braces use metal wires and brackets, which can be customized with colorful elastics. Translucent braces are similar but use tooth-colored ceramic brackets that blend with natural teeth.
