More About Orthodontics for AdultsThe Benefits of Braces for Adults
With the availability of orthodontic treatment with clear aligners like Invisalign, you may wonder why many adults choose braces instead. Here are a few reasons.
Versatility
Braces are a durable and versatile way to resolve pretty much any misalignment, no matter how complicated. From minor tooth realignments to rotating and lengthening teeth, braces get the job done.
Efficiency
Thanks to continuous advancements in design, modern braces have become lower in profile and increasingly effective at applying optimal force in multiple directions, making braces treatment more discreet and effective than ever before.
Consistency
As a fixed orthodontic treatment option, braces can be the ideal way to ensure that treatment milestones are consistently met and treatment is completed as quickly as possible. No cheating, no breaks, just getting the job done.
