Adult Braces: Are they Right for You?

Have you ever considered having your teeth straightened but felt you were too old? Are you dissatisfied with your smile but don't know if braces are for you? Though orthodontic treatment was conventionally carried out for children, braces today are a reality at any age. Adult orthodontics is now a reality and age is just a number now. The age long myth that orthodontics cannot be done on adults is gone now and science has proved that adult orthodontics is very much possible now.
Straight teeth are healthy teeth. Teeth that aren't overly crowded are easier to keep clean. This means that adult gums will be healthier and this will diminish the chances of decay and early tooth loss. Teeth that do not line up properly can cause abnormal wear of tooth surfaces as well as cause excess stress on supporting bone and gum tissue. This can lead to gum disease and the possible eventual need for dentures.

Come in today for an evaluation at our convenient Arboretum location! We treat teeth and will make sure you are referred to the best orthodontic practices in Charlotte if you are needing braces!
