Adult Orthodontics

What is Adult Orthodontics?

Adult orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that deals with the correction of misaligned teeth and jaws in patients over the age of 18. This type of treatment is necessary for a variety of reasons, including aesthetic concerns, functional issues, and overall oral health.

Orthodontic treatment can be a great option for adults who may have missed out on braces during their youth or who have experienced relapse after previous treatment. Additionally, advances in orthodontic technology have made treatment more comfortable and convenient than ever before.

Common Types of Adult Orthodontic Treatment

At Nordstrom Orthodontics, we offer a variety of treatment options to meet the unique needs of our adult patients. Some of the most common types of adult orthodontic treatment include:

Traditional metal braces: While traditional metal braces may be more commonly associated with youth orthodontics, they remain an effective option for adults as well. They are durable and reliable, and can be a great choice for patients with complex orthodontic issues.

Ceramic braces: Ceramic braces work similarly to traditional metal braces, but are designed to blend in with the natural color of the teeth for a more subtle appearance. This can be a great choice for patients who are self-conscious about their appearance.

Invisalign: Invisalign is a popular orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually shift teeth into the correct position. It is a great choice for patients who are looking for a more discreet option than traditional braces.

The Benefits of Adult Orthodontics

Orthodontic treatment for adults can have a number of benefits, including:

Improved oral health: When teeth are properly aligned, it can be easier to maintain good oral hygiene, which can help prevent issues like gum disease and tooth decay.

Reduced risk of TMJ disorders: Misaligned teeth can put additional stress on the jaw joint, which can lead to issues like TMJ disorders. Orthodontic treatment can help reduce this risk.

Enhanced self-confidence: A beautiful, healthy smile can improve self-esteem and confidence, which can have a positive impact on overall quality of life.
