Adult Orthodontics
I know what you’re thinking… “I’m too old for braces!” However, we would like to argue that you are never too old to achieve your dream smile. “I don’t like the look of braces!” We personally celebrate the classic ‘braces look’, however, we also have a variety of alternative treatment options for you if you prefer a more discrete option. Orthodontic treatment is no longer just for teens. In fact, the American Association of Orthodontists states that one in five orthodontic patients is over the age of 21. Many adults are choosing to receive treatment because they understand the importance of maintaining their health. Also, who doesn’t want to look like a million bucks?! Adults everywhere are taking advantage of the opportunity to receive orthodontic care, and now you can too.
Everyone wants a beautiful smile, but that isn’t the only reason you should pursue orthodontic treatment. As an adult, you are already more at risk for things like gum or bone loss, crowding that leads to tooth decay and gum disease, worn or missing teeth, among other dental concerns. Many of your dental concerns can be improved with orthodontic treatment. Many orthodontists focus on treating kids and teens because of the simplicity and tradition with treating young people. It takes a special orthodontist like Dr. Ammar to understand the complexity of other specialties and the roles they play in creating the smile you’ve always desired.
