Why get braces as an adult?
There are many reasons why adults choose to get braces. Some of the most common reasons include:
Improved appearance: A straighter smile can make you look and feel younger and more attractive. It can also help to improve your symmetry and facial balance.
Boosted self-confidence: A smile is often the first thing people notice about you, so having a straighter smile can boost your confidence. This can lead to improved social interactions, increased job opportunities, and a better overall quality of life.
Improved oral health: Straight teeth are easier to clean, which can help to reduce the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Braces can also correct bite problems, improving your ability to chew and speak.
What types of braces are available for adults?
There are a variety of braces available for adults, including:
Traditional metal braces are the most common type of braces. They are made up of metal brackets and wires that are bonded to the teeth.
Ceramic braces are similar to traditional metal braces but are made of clear or tooth-coloured ceramic. This makes them less noticeable than metal braces.
Lingual braces are attached to the backs of the teeth, making them completely invisible from the front.
Invisible braces like that of Invisalign, Spark and Angel Aligners are a clear aligner system that is virtually invisible. The removable aligners are worn for 22 hours daily and removed for eating and brushing.
