Adult orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that focuses on the correction of misaligned teeth and jaws in adults. Unlike traditional orthodontics, which is typically
performed on children and teenagers, adult orthodontics addresses the unique concerns and considerations of adult patients.

Some common reasons why adults may seek orthodontic treatment include:

Improving their smile and self-confidence
Correcting bite problems, such as overbite or underbite
Relieving jaw pain and discomfort caused by misaligned teeth
Improving oral hygiene and reducing the risk of gum disease and tooth decay
Preparing for other dental procedures, such as implants or dentures
There are various orthodontic treatments available for adults, including traditional braces, clear aligners (such as Invisalign), and lingual braces (which are placed on the back of the teeth). The best treatment option for a particular patient depends on the severity of their misalignment, their personal preferences, and other factors such as their budget and lifestyle.

It is never too late to improve your oral health and get the straight, healthy smile you’ve always wanted. If you’re considering adult orthodontics, it’s a good idea
to schedule a consultation with an orthodontic specialist to discuss your options and determine the best plan of action for your needs.
