Frequently Asked Questions About Adult Orthodontic Treatment

Yes, orthodontic treatment is highly effective for adults. Advancements in orthodontic technology have made it possible to achieve excellent results, regardless of age. Treatments such as braces and Invisalign can correct misalignments, improve oral health, and enhance the appearance of your smile.

Adults have several options for braces, including traditional metal braces, ceramic braces, and clear aligners like Invisalign. Metal braces are durable and effective, ceramic braces are less noticeable, and Invisalign aligners offer a discreet and removable alternative.

The duration of treatment varies based on the complexity of the case. On average, adult orthodontic treatment can take 12 to 24 months. Your orthodontist will provide a personalized estimate during your initial consultation.

Yes, certain foods should be avoided to prevent damage to the braces. Hard, sticky, and chewy foods can break brackets and wires. It's best to avoid nuts, hard candies, gum, and popcorn. Cutting hard fruits and vegetables into smaller pieces is also recommended.

Good oral hygiene is crucial during orthodontic treatment. Brush your teeth after every meal using fluoride toothpaste and a soft-bristle toothbrush. Floss daily with a floss threader or orthodontic flosser. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings are essential to keep your teeth and gums healthy.

Yes, you can still play sports while wearing braces. It's important to protect your teeth and braces by wearing a mouthguard. We can provide a customized mouthguard designed to fit over your braces and protect your teeth during physical activities.

If a bracket or wire breaks, contact our office as soon as possible to schedule a repair appointment. In the meantime, you can apply orthodontic wax to the affected area to prevent irritation. If a wire is poking and causing discomfort, try to push it back into place with a pencil eraser or a cotton swab. Avoid attempting to fix the braces yourself to prevent further damage.

Yes, it's important to continue regular visits to your family dentist for routine check-ups and cleanings while undergoing orthodontic treatment. Your dentist will help maintain your oral health by monitoring for cavities, gum disease, and other dental issues. Regular dental visits, combined with good oral hygiene practices, ensure the best possible outcome for your orthodontic treatment.
