As an adult, you want the most attractive and best functioning smile possible. Yet, your dental alignment has been noticeably off since .jpg)
childhood. Do you need orthodontic correction? Why not consult expert orthodontist, Dr. A. Stuart Loos? He has been evaluating patients of all ages for braces in his Canton, GA office for years. He can eliminate your smile problems and give you great oral function and aesthetics.
Do adults get braces?
Yes, in fact, the Harvard Medical School says that one in five orthodontic patients in the United States are adults who want straighter smiles which:
- Are more attractive
- Are easier to keep free of plaque and tartar
- Have proper bite (fully and equally meet together)
- Develop fewer cavities and gum issues
- Do not cause oral irritations such as biting the inside of the cheeks
- Allow ease of biting and chewing and clear speech
Additionally, many people need braces because they have chronic headaches and ear pain due to TMD, or temporomandibular joint dysfunction (jaw joint problems). Other individuals rest poorly or snore because of sleep apnea related to improper dental bites or crowded teeth. Braces also alleviate excessive and premature wear and tear on tooth surfaces, and orthodontics may address habitual teeth clenching and grinding (bruxism).
Finally, orthodontic care corrects what we all think of as typical smile issues:
- Overbite
- Underbite
- Crossbite
- Openbite
- Crowding
- Gaps
- Congenital absence of teeth
- Tooth rotation and tooth tipping
- Protruding front teeth
- Orthodontic relapse (teeth shift to their previous positions after braces are removed)
How can you know?
Dr. Loos and his dedicated team can evaluate your mouth to see if Canton braces can help your oral health issues. He'll visually inspect your teeth and take digital X-rays and other kinds of imaging as needed. Then, he'll devise an individualized treatment plan, outlining his findings, kinds of orthodontic appliances needed and more.
In his office, Dr. Loos offers traditional braces (bonded on brackets and arch wires), ceramic braces (which can be tooth-colored and less noticeable) and lingual braces mounted to the tongue-side of teeth. Also, he offers selected adult and teen patients Invisalign clear braces. These amazing invisible aligners correct a variety of orthodontic issues in less time and with fewer inconveniences normally associated with conventional braces.
