Benefits of Tooth Braces for Adults
Choosing adult braces offers many lasting benefits for your oral health and overall well-being. Here are some key advantages of getting tooth braces or dental braces as an adult:
No Age Limit
There’s no age restriction when it comes to dental braces. Adults of any age can achieve straighter teeth and improved confidence with the right orthodontic treatment.
Boosts Self-Esteem
Tooth braces can enhance your smile by aligning your teeth, improving your bite, and helping with clearer speech, boosting your self-esteem and comfort in daily interactions.
Prevent Jawbone Erosion
Misaligned teeth can cause jawbone and gum issues over time. Adult braces correct alignment problems, helping prevent erosion, decay, and other long-term oral health complications.
Improve Bite Alignment
Proper bite alignment achieved through tooth braces or dental braces reduces wear on teeth and supports better chewing, making your smile not just more attractive, but also healthier and stronger.

Traditional Braces
Unlike the apparent metal contraptions of the past, the latest materials and technologies make braces far less bulky. Most parts can be clear, tooth-coloured, or even ceramic, so they blend in. Traditional braces are best suited to correcting the most complex tooth misalignments, especially those requiring vertical movement or incisor rotations.
Invisalign
The Invisalign system uses a series of clear aligners to correct teeth without the wires and bands of traditional braces. Because they are practically invisible, they are an excellent option for teens and adults.
How Do Traditional Braces Compare To Invisalign?
Traditional Braces
- Average treatment time of 18 -24 months, depending on the patient
- Brackets and wires must be brushed thoroughly at every brushing. It may also be necessary to brush during the day, after meals.
- Monthly appointments to make adjustments and progress treatment
- A retainer is often required after treatment to maintain straightness.
- Traditional braces are the most effective treatment for complex orthodontic issues.
- Wires and brackets may cause some pain or sensitivity, especially inside of the cheeks. You may have some discomfort from tooth movement after adjustments

Invisalign
