There are many reasons why adults choose or are recommended to correct their bite. Some of those reasons include: straightening, improving a “bad bite”, prevention of periodontal disease, function, and cosmetics. As we age, our teeth can shift causing malocclusion and crowding. To correct these problems, Orthodontic treatment is often necessary. If a person has a “bad bite”, overtime this could cause excessive wear on their teeth and casue discomfort, broken restorations, fractured teeth, sensitivity, and areas that are difficult to clean.
Many adults are concerned about wearing metal braces and often put off treatment. Luckily, there are ways to correct most malocclusion problems by using clear braces such as Invisalign. Invisalign allows you to correct your smile while wearing a series of clear alligners, which are not that noticeable. To learn more about Orthodontic options, click here.
