Orthodontics for Children
At The Art of Smile, we believe in starting orthodontic treatment early, ideally before all permanent teeth have come in. By age 7, when the first permanent molars and incisors typically appear, we can assess children for issues like cross-bites, crowding, and misalignment. Our focus is on preventing and addressing problems using advanced European and American techniques. Early intervention can help regulate dental arch width, guide growth, create space for incoming teeth, and prevent the need for extractions or impacted teeth. It can also address habits like thumb-sucking and correct swallowing or speech issues, ultimately simplifying future treatment.
Orthodontics for Adults
Braces are not just for teenagers. Healthy teeth can be moved at any age, so it is never too late to improve your dental health and enhance your smile. Orthodontic treatment can be successful at any age, and adults especially appreciate the benefits of a beautiful smile. In fact, one out of every four patients at The Art of Smile is an adult. So, why do adults choose to get braces?
There are numerous advantages to adult orthodontics, whether you are looking to correct bite or jaw issues, straighten crooked or crowded teeth, or address any regression that may have occurred after wearing braces as a child. Treating these issues can lower the risk of cavities and gum disease, leading to better overall dental health. Adult orthodontics can also alleviate headaches and jaw pain that may be related to the positioning of the jaw and teeth.
Some adults may be hesitant about getting orthodontic treatment due to the idea of having to wear visible metal braces for an extended period. However, thanks to advancements in technology, there are now various modern solutions available. Options such as the Invisalign® system, which uses clear removable aligners, or fast-track adult orthodontic systems that utilize clear ceramic braces instead of traditional metal ones, make orthodontic treatment for adults more comfortable and efficient than ever before. It is no surprise that the fastest-growing segment of orthodontic care is for adults.
