Adult Orthodontia: What You Need to Know

August 26, 2019

If your parents skipped out on getting you braces as a kid, you should know that it’s not too late to change your smile.

These days, adults are undergoing successful orthodontia procedures and creating smiles that they’re proud of in Ashburn. Let’s take a look at the options for adults.

Too Old?

Not so fast. While it’s true that teeth move quicker when you’re a teen due to less bone density, adult teeth still move and migrate.

The process may take more time than it would have when you were twenty years younger, but it’s still very possible to create a more aesthetically pleasing or functional smile as an adult.

Special Considerations

It’s true that adult orthodontia is a whole different ballgame. Adults may be suffering from worn teeth, gum disease, or other oral health conditions.

These conditions will need to be worked into your treatment plan, and an experienced orthodontist will be able to accommodate them.

Our practice has the advantage of being fully integrative—meaning you don’t have to visit another office for the benefits of seeing a dentist or oral surgeon.

Will I Look Like a Teen?

Luckily, adult orthodontia is a powerful treatment that is now more discreet than ever. From visible aligners to tooth-colored braces and more, adults have a variety of choices to make their aesthetic dreams come true.

At your consultation, your orthodontic provider will be able to suggest which option will work best for your particular needs.
