It's never too late for adult orthodontics in the Lapeer area
The team at Metropolitan Dental Center treats misalignment in patients of a wide range of ages. There is not a window during which teeth can be moved into proper alignment, though we have most often seen young people sporting metal braces. Today, we have more requests from adults than ever before for Invisalign or even for conventional braces as the importance of good oral health is better understood. Adults are also discovering the immense social and professional benefits of an attractive smile and are willing to do what it takes to achieve their goals.
Misalignment is a problem that can lead to many others, in fact. Adults with untreated misalignment may find that they suffer from frequent headaches or from gum disease. In some cases, misalignment may cause undue stress on the joints of the jaw, causing TMJ disorder and a host of unpleasant symptoms.
Fortunately, there have been significant advances in the field of orthodontic medicine. Now, no adult is too old to consult with his or her Metropolitan Dental Center dentist about orthodontics. Our team serves patients from Auburn Hills, Lapeer, Davisburg, and more with personalized care that makes a difference.
Conventional braces may seem like a thing of the past, but improvements have made this treatment far more palatable for patients of all ages. NASA has developed nickel-titanium alloy wires that work so efficiently that fewer adjustments are needed throughout the course of treatment. With low-profile, small sized brackets and wires, teeth can be adjusted in a variety of directions. The gradual movement of teeth is minimally uncomfortable and very gentle to oral tissues.
When we design orthodontic treatment for our patients, we consider the immense benefits of conventional braces and discuss these during consultation. When teeth are misaligned, the neuromuscular structures in the jaw, head, and neck are affected adversely. Our focus on the muscles, ligaments, and joints of the jaw during orthodontic treatment achieves the best possible results that extend far beyond aesthetic beauty.
For many adults, there is a concern over how the smile will look during orthodontic treatment. Discretion, for some, is very high on the list of wants with orthodontic care. When possible, Invisalign can be used to straighten teeth and even correct minor bite issues such as crossbite, underbite, or overbite.
