Adult vs. Childhood Orthodontic Treatments

Orthodontics can be used on smiles of all ages. Although the process may be slightly different for children than for adults, the results are the same – straighter teeth and a more perfectly aligned bite.

Children’s jaws and facial structures are still growing when they wear orthodontic appliances. This allows the brackets and wires to more easily shift teeth into alignment.

Adults, however, have fully developed jaws and facial structures. This means they are set in place, but they can be moved with the help of adult orthodontics. Using metal braces or clear aligners, we can shift teeth and bites as needed so that everything comes together correctly. This allows for more comfortable eating and speaking and greater confidence in your personal and professional life.

Main Street Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics of Danville offers traditional braces and Invisalign Clear Aligners to adults who desire straighter teeth. Whether it’s crooked, gapped, or overcrowded teeth, or a serious overbite, underbite, crossbite, or open bite that needs help, one of the following options can produce the kind of results you want.

Traditional Braces

Traditional braces are the most commonly used orthodontic system because of their proven track record of success. Using metal brackets and wires, they work together to move teeth so that you can enjoy a more comfortable, cohesive smile. Although they are often more visible than other treatment options, you can inquire about tooth-colored materials for a more subtle appearance.

Invisalign Clear Aligners

Invisalign Clear Aligners are a removable orthodontic treatment that uses clear plastic trays to shift teeth. Offering a discreet appearance and improved comfort and flexibility, you will wear these aligners 20-22 hours a day, ensuring your smile moves in the right direction. Periodically replacing each set with new ones allows your smile to move into the next phase of correction, pushing your teeth closer to the finish line.
