Why Adults Need Orthodontics

Orthodontics is a highly specialized field in dentistry that delivers health and cosmetic benefits to a patient—using braces, aligners, or other appliances. These are some reasons why a patient may need or want treatment with Dr. Hutta and Dr. Price:

  • A bad bite—The upper and lower jaw, as well as the teeth, need to be in harmony for proper bite function.
  • Poor dental health—Crowding or excessive spacing may impact oral hygiene and contribute to tooth decay or gum disease.
  • Experiencing pain—Crooked or misaligned teeth can cause discomfort, lead to bruxism or TMJ disorders, and more.
  • Lacking smile confidence—Every patient deserves to feel confident in their smile!

What Makes Adult Orthodontics Different

No matter the age of a patient, you can achieve cosmetic and health improvements with orthodontics, like braces. However, there are some differences when treating an adult versus an adolescent patient.

For instance, a child’s face and jaw are still growing. Through orthodontics, we can influence the facial growth of an adolescent patient with appliances, like a palatal expander. For an adult patient, the jaw has finished growing and all teeth have erupted, so treatments may or may not include correction of misaligned jaw position.

How Braces and Oral Health Intersect

In dentistry, some aspects of your oral health can be resolved through orthodontics with Dr. Hutta and Dr. Price. Below are some of the many problems that orthodontic treatment can help improve or prevent:

How COuld Braces or Aligners Help You as an Adult?

Dr. Hutta and Dr. Price treat their adult patients with the best technology available to them! Here are some of the reasons why orthodontic treatment performed by Dr. Hutta and Dr. Price is an excellent choice for adults:

  • Boosts health — Teeth that are properly aligned are easier to keep clean with flossing and brushing. Plus, with removable aligner options, like Invisalign, maintaining dental health during treatment is easy.
  • Builds confidence — First impressions matter, and you deserve to make a great one when you flash your smile! These days, braces, Invisalign, and other aligners are more discreet than ever, giving you confident smiles during and after treatment.
  • Preventative — As we age, our jaw narrows, bite deepens, and teeth shift. These changes can increase one’s chances of enamel, gum, and bone loss.
  • Cutting-edge — Braces and aligners have never been more advanced! Whether you need a six-month smile touch-up or comprehensive treatment, you will enjoy the best technologies with the best doctors available.
