Adult Orthodontics
At Behl Orthodontics, we believe it's NEVER too late to straighten your smile. Many of our current patients are adults!
A healthy bite is as important at age 60 as it is at 16. Although most of our adult patients receive orthodontic treatment to achieve a straight smile, treatment also positively affects your overall health. Crooked, crowded teeth are hard to clean and maintain, which can negatively impact your oral health and in some cases your overall health.
According to the American Association of Orthodontists, research has shown a strong link between crooked, unhealthy teeth and periodontal disease, heart disease, stroke and more. A straight healthy smile can not only help boost your self-esteem; it can help prevent these types of diseases from occurring. Orthodontic treatment is a smart investment for your dental, physical and emotional well-being.
Technology continues to advance in the orthodontic industry and there are always new exciting treatment options that are both effective and discreet. At Behl Orthodontics we stay on top of the latest trends and offer our patients the most advanced treatment options available.
Most of our adult patients will choose between these two options:
Self-Ligating Clear Braces
These clear braces gently move teeth into the desired place in a comfortable and efficient manner. The archwire is held in place by a moveable component instead of elastic ties. Self-ligating technology allows for faster and more comfortable treatment. And clear brackets make it less noticeable that you're straightening your smile!
Invisalign®
Invisalign® are "braces" that consist of strong plastic trays that are fabricated especially for you. Invisalign® is truly invisible. No one will know that you are straightening your teeth. Invisalign® uses 3D computer graphics to design and manufacture these customized clear aligners. The aligners are comfortable to wear and removable so you can eat whatever you want and brush and floss your teeth normally.
