Balnarring Dental » Mature & Misaligned? Time to Straighten Out

At our dental clinic, we often hear the phrase “I’m too old to straighten my teeth” or “A perfectly straight smile isn’t high on my priority list.” However, with today’s advancement in orthodontic technology, age is merely a number and comfort is the new norm.

Why should you consider orthodontic treatment as an adult?

Straightening your teeth isn’t just about aesthetics. It’s a health upgrade that addresses several concerns:

Overcrowded teeth: Our teeth naturally shift as we age, leading to overcrowding and overlapping. This crowding not only affects the appearance of your smile but also traps food and bacteria, making it harder to maintain oral hygiene and increasing the risk of gum disease and decay.
Uneven chewing: Misaligned teeth can result in uneven distribution of chewing forces, causing some teeth to bear more pressure than others. This uneven wear and tear can lead to premature tooth damage and other oral health issues.
Misaligned bite: An improper bite can place extra stress on your jaw and facial muscles, potentially causing chronic headaches, jaw pain, and other discomforts.

What’s new in orthodontic treatment for adults?

Gone are the days of metal braces and uncomfortable molds. Today's advancements in orthodontic technology have revolutionized the treatment process, making it faster, more comfortable, and more discreet than ever before:

Digital Scanners: Say goodbye to uncomfortable molds! Digital scanners have replaced traditional impressions, providing a more accurate and less invasive way to capture the structure of your teeth.
Clear Aligners: Clear aligners, such as Invisalign, offer a discreet alternative to metal braces. These removable aligners gently move your teeth into place, allowing you to eat, drink, and clean your teeth with ease.
3D Modelling: With digital planning, patients can visualize the result of their treatment before it even begins, providing a clear picture of the journey ahead and instilling confidence in the process.
