Wilmington Orthodontist for Adults
Think braces are just for kids? Think again! Adults make excellent orthodontic patients, because they’re committed to the success of their treatment. If you’re looking for a Wilmington orthodontist for adults, look no further than Wilmington Orthodontic Center in Delaware.
Braces and Work Schedules
We understand that getting braces as an adult can be challenging to work into your routine. Your time is valuable to us. That’s why we offer flexible appointment options that you can easily fit in before heading to work, during your lunch break, or at the end of the business day.
Bonus: If you’re wearing Invisalign aligners (invisible braces) you won’t need as many appointments! Our orthodontist for adults sends the trays home with you in advance. Simply change them out as directed, every two weeks. We’ll only need to briefly check your progress about once every 2-3 months.
Improving Oral Health
Having crowded or misaligned teeth at a younger age may not have ever bothered you. But as an adult, you’ll start to see additional side-effects of having crooked teeth. Getting braces or clear aligners can help you lower your risk of problems like:
• Flat, worn teeth
• Gum recession
• Periodontal disease
• Tooth decay
• TMJ disorder
• Fractured dental work
Why? Because when your teeth line up properly, they function optimally and are easier to care for. Working with our Wilmington adult orthodontist in Delaware can help you address your bite alignment in a holistic manner. In fact, straightening your teeth is considered to be part of a holistic care plan for managing conditions like gum disease and TMJ pain. Braces may even be a necessity if you’re planning to replace missing teeth with dental implants in the future.
Types of Braces for Adults
Not all adult orthodontic providers provide the same types of braces. Having different choices in the type of braces available can help you fit the treatment into your lifestyle.
Wilmington Orthodontic Center provides everything from traditional braces to invisible orthodontics like Invisalign. As we work with you during your consultation, we’ll review which options you qualify for and discuss the pros and cons of each. Together, we’ll co-plan your care and find the best type of braces for adults like you!
The best orthodontic specialist will be able to provide start-to-finish adult braces of all kinds under the same roof.
What About Short-Term Adult Braces?
Cosmetic braces treatments are extremely common for adults. If you have generally straight teeth and an aligned bite, you might only need to fine-tune the alignment of the teeth at the front of your smile. Cosmetic orthodontics is a short-term treatment option that’s focused on straightening the teeth in your “smile zone.” Although they’re not ideal for everyone, these cosmetic braces cases may only require 4-6 months to complete.
