Adult Orthodontic Treatment Options at Model Dentistry
At Model Dentistry, we offer a variety of orthodontic treatment options tailored specifically for adults. Our orthodontic services are designed to address your individual needs, whether you’re seeking traditional braces or a more subtle solution. Here are some of the treatments we offer:
1. Traditional Braces
Traditional metal braces are a time-tested solution for correcting misaligned teeth and bite issues. Though commonly associated with teenagers, many adults benefit from the strength and durability of metal braces. They are effective for treating more complex cases of misalignment or crowding, ensuring precise results.
- Effective for Complex Cases: Traditional braces can treat severe misalignment, crowding, and bite issues.
- Precise Adjustments: Our team can make precise adjustments during your treatment to ensure the best possible outcome.
- Durable and Reliable: Metal braces provide reliable results and are highly effective for a wide range of orthodontic concerns.
2. Clear Braces
For adults who want the effectiveness of traditional braces but prefer a more discreet look, clear ceramic braces are an excellent option. These braces work similarly to metal braces but are made from tooth-colored materials that blend in with your natural teeth, making them less noticeable.
- Subtle Appearance: Clear braces are less visible, making them a popular choice for adults who want a more discreet treatment option.
- Customizable for Your Needs: Clear braces offer the same reliable results as traditional braces while maintaining a more aesthetic look.
3. Invisalign
Invisalign is one of the most popular orthodontic options for adults looking for a nearly invisible way to straighten their teeth. This system uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. Invisalign is a comfortable, convenient, and discreet option for busy adults.
- Invisible and Removable: Invisalign aligners are clear and removable, allowing you to eat, drink, and brush your teeth without restrictions.
- Comfortable Fit: The aligners are custom-made for your teeth, ensuring a snug, comfortable fit without the discomfort of metal brackets or wires.
- Shorter Treatment Time: Depending on your case, Invisalign treatment may take less time than traditional braces, giving you a beautiful smile in a shorter period.
The Adult Orthodontics Process at Model Dentistry
At Model Dentistry Greenwell Springs, we make the orthodontic process as simple and comfortable as possible. Here’s what you can expect during your adult orthodontic treatment:
1. Initial Consultation
Your journey to a straighter smile starts with a thorough consultation. Our team, including Dr. Ryan Wise, will evaluate your oral health, discuss your concerns, and determine the best orthodontic treatment for your needs. We will take digital X-rays and 3D images to assess your teeth and jaw alignment, allowing us to create a personalized treatment plan.
2. Treatment Plan
Based on your consultation, we will recommend the most suitable orthodontic option—whether it’s traditional braces, clear braces, or Invisalign. We will explain the benefits of each option, the estimated treatment time, and what you can expect throughout the process.
3. Orthodontic Treatment
Once your treatment plan is in place, we’ll begin the process of applying your braces or providing your Invisalign aligners. For traditional braces, this involves bonding brackets to your teeth and connecting them with wires, which are adjusted throughout your treatment. For Invisalign, you’ll receive a series of custom aligners that you’ll wear for 22 hours a day, switching to a new set every few weeks.
4. Follow-Up Appointments
Throughout your treatment, you’ll have regular follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments. For Invisalign patients, this may include receiving new aligners as your teeth shift into their proper positions.
5. Retainers and Post-Treatment Care
After your braces or Invisalign treatment is complete, you’ll need to wear a retainer to maintain your new smile and prevent your teeth from shifting back. We’ll provide you with a custom retainer and instructions on how to care for it properly.
