How Can Adults Get a Straighter Smile?

Orthodontic treatment is a field that has advanced considerably over the last few decades. New techniques and options have led to a surge in adult orthodontics; in fact, 1 in 5 orthodontic patients are now adults. Lots of times adults have many reservations about getting treatment. For Dr. Nalbandian, a major concern for his adult patients is the length of time in treatment, or the appearance of having orthodontic devices on the teeth. Luckily, Wired Orthodontics in Scarborough has a variety of orthodontics treatments that adults can choose from!

Adults can now choose to wear the highly popular ‘Invisalign’ braces. Invisalign is a series of clear, removable plastic aligners that are custom made for each person’s teeth. They are much more comfortable than traditional braces as there are no wires or brackets. They are also much more convenient than the fixed metal braces as it is possible to take them out while eating and for cleaning.

The quicker option included traditional brackets. Unlike Invisalign, these kinds of braces are fixed to the teeth. However, once they are on they are extremely unobtrusive. These braces have an added advantage in that they tend to move the teeth quicker and more effectively than the Invisalign braces.

Both options are wonderful to consider as smile repairing options. Don’t shy away from treatment just because of age. At Wired Orthodontics, Dr. Nalbandian and his team are there to give you the smile of your dreams. For more information, call our office in Scarborough today at (647) 344-9473!
