Braces Aren’t Just For Teens

It’s not all a picnic, however. Many older individuals have health issues, limited mobility, and financial concerns. Though some issues can’t be avoided, others can. Crooked teeth, for instance.

Could Your Smile Benefit From Adult Braces?

Orthodontics can correct all types of tooth alignment problems. Overbite? Gap between your two front teeth? Crowded teeth?

With modern orthodontics at Almeida & Bell Dental Cosmetic, Implant & Sedation Dentistry in Lone Tree, older men and women can have an extraordinary smile that looks as young as they feel.

Let’s consider some orthodontic options.

Self-ligating Braces

Traditional braces have brackets and an archwire. The brackets are mounted to the teeth and the archwire is attached to the brackets. With self-ligating braces, the archwire is connected to the brackets with a spring clip. This replaces the plastic color band necessary with conventional metal braces.

Invisalign

Invisalign uses clear aligners instead of metal or ceramic brackets. With Invisalign aligners, you switch aligners every couple of weeks as your teeth gently shift into place.
