Adults and Braces

Getting braces is one of the strongest steps many adults can take to improve their oral and overall health. Offering aesthetic improvement as well as increased resistance to tooth decay and enhanced ability to chew, braces benefit patients at any age. Adults may have a variety of orthodontic options at the office of our Rocklin orthodontist.

Adult Orthodontic Treatment Options

Adults can choose from conventional metal braces or more discreet treatments, such as ceramic braces, lingual braces, and Invisalign. In addition to being less visible, these other choices also offer improved comfort and, in some cases, significantly shorter treatment time.

How Adults Benefit from Braces

Braces offer potentially major benefits to adults who have bite irregularities but did not receive braces earlier in life. Instead of focusing on guiding development, as orthodontic treatment for children often does, adult orthodontic treatment centers on improving appearance as well as boosting resistance to tooth decay, gum disease and tooth loss. For many patients, increased ability to chew can even improve their digestion and nutrient absorption.

Adults benefit from the experience of our orthodontist, who has successfully treated many adult patients with braces. At a consultation with our expert in adult braces in Rocklin, adults can learn more about their options for orthodontic treatment.
