Traditional metal braces are the most famous type of orthodontic treatment options. However, this is not the only option. We still recommend traditional metal braces for preteens and teens because they are durable and long-lasting. However, adults may prefer clear braces or clear removable aligners as an alternative. We can discuss all of these options and the likely results of using them upon visiting our office for an examination and consultation. Dr. Parker will listen to any concerns and work to find a solution that will improve one's smile and oral health.
During the consultation, be sure to ask plenty of questions. This is the opportunity to learn more about an orthodontic treatment, what life is like while completing one, how long the process will take and what regular visits will consist of. No question is a bad question, so feel free to make a list and we will take the time to go through each one.
As a member of the San Joaquin Dental Society, Dr. Parker can also provide patients with additional educational information on the orthodontic treatment and maintain oral health during treatment. It is critical that whether one is wearing traditional or clear braces, one needs to keep the teeth in good health. If one fails to keep his or her teeth clean while using an orthodontic treatment for teeth straightening, then one can experience severe staining or worse. A cavity or infection will need to be dealt with right away and this could create delays in the overall treatment plan. Fortunately, these delays can be avoided by focusing on your oral health the entire time.
Adults of all ages are finding that there are benefits to straightening their teeth. If you have waited due to a busy schedule or other life priorities, it is not too late to get the smile you have always wanted. Discussing your options can be quite insightful, so call today.
