Dentofacial Orthopedics for Adults
- Stability: Clear braces can withstand normal chewing and biting, so eating most foods is acceptable. You should, however, stay away from hard, sticky foods, as these can cause any kind of orthodontic appliance to break.
- Less Bulky: Traditional metal brackets and wires can protrude and rub against soft oral tissues; however, clear braces are less bulky. This means that brackets lay flatter against teeth, so there is less irritation.
- Same Great Results: You don’t have to worry about lackluster results because clear and ceramic braces are known to produce the same great outcomes as regular braces. At the end of treatment, you can expect your teeth to appear in proper alignment.
- Available for Teens & Adults: Both teenagers and adults can inquire about undergoing orthodontic treatment with clear braces, making it an ideal option for anyone who might be self-conscious about their appearance.
