Achieving A Healthy, Beautiful Smile At Any Age

As we age, our teeth can shift and become crooked and uneven. Enhancing the aesthetic appearance of the face with a straight smile is an obvious and often primary reason for adults to pursue orthodontic treatment. Another factor is the desire for improved oral health. Misaligned teeth can contribute to wear and tear on the teeth, which can increase sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures. They can contribute to a host of dental problems, including gum disease, tooth decay and bone loss. Aligned teeth, on the other hand, are easier to clean and less prone to plaque buildup. Ultimately, an investment in orthodontic treatment is an investment in your long-term oral health.

Addressing Functional Concerns

Orthodontic treatment can effectively address functional problems that impact daily life while providing the cosmetic enhancement of a beautiful smile. Beyond appearance and oral health, functional considerations play a role in the decision-making process for adult orthodontic treatment. Adults can face challenges such as bite problems, jaw pain, facial pain and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders due to misaligned teeth. Orthodontic interventions can correct these issues, leading to improved functionality, reduced discomfort and restored ability to chew.

Treatment Options For Adult Orthodontics

Dr. Nicole Eberle and our team are dedicated to continuing education, especially as it pertains to the complex dental treatment concerns and solutions for adult patients. We understand the unique needs that affect adult patients and offer the appropriate treatment options to achieve the best smile possible. Thanks to modern orthodontic techniques and appliances, Eberle Orthodontics offers several options for adult orthodontic treatment, including:

Low-profile metal brackets make orthodontic treatment more comfortable than in years past. Traditional braces are durable and highly capable of handling a wide range of bite issues, making them suitable for the majority of adult patients.

Adult patients often choose ceramic or tooth-colored brackets for their cosmetic and inconspicuous appeal during orthodontic treatment. They work the same as traditional braces and offer a slightly more discreet aesthetic.

A convenient, comfortable and popular option for orthodontic treatment, the Invisalign® clear aligner system is a great way to get a beautiful, healthy smile with the least amount of aesthetic impact. Clear aligners are removable, and you can eat, drink and clean your teeth without having to worry about wires and brackets!

Orthodontic surgery in adults can correct orthodontic concerns that cannot be addressed with traditional orthodontic treatment alone. Corrective jaw surgery treats and corrects abnormalities of the facial bones, specifically the jaws and the teeth. Dr. Eberle can determine if jaw surgery is an appropriate treatment option for you.

Benefits Of Adult Orthodontics

Adult orthodontic treatment offers a multitude of benefits that extend beyond just achieving a straighter smile. As orthodontic technologies continue to advance, the treatment options for adults have become more discreet and comfortable, making the journey toward a healthier and more attractive smile increasingly accessible and appealing. Additional benefits of adult orthodontics include:

  • Improved Oral Health: Orthodontic treatment can correct misalignments, reducing the risk of oral health issues such as gum disease, tooth decay and bone loss.
  • Enhanced Functionality: Correcting bite problems and misalignments improves the functionality of the jaw, reducing discomfort and addressing issues like TMJ disorders.
  • Preventing Future Complications: As an adult in orthodontic treatment, you can prevent or alleviate problems that may arise due to misaligned teeth, such as headaches, facial pain and temporomandibular joint issues.

  • Easier Oral Hygiene: Straightening misaligned teeth makes it easier for adults to maintain good oral hygiene practices, as aligned teeth are simpler to clean and less prone to plaque buildup.
  • Aesthetic Improvement: Achieving a straighter smile through orthodontic treatment enhances the overall appearance of an individual’s teeth, boosting self-esteem and confidence.
