Orthodontics for Adults
Children and teens are not the only ones who may benefit from dental braces, adults also can undergo orthodontic treatment to correct crooked teeth, spaced teeth and crowded teeth, among other problems.
Orthodontic problems can worsen over time if not appropriately addressed and many people just manage around the pain and difficulties believing that nothing can be done. This just isn’t true as orthodontic treatments can begin no matter what your age.
Orthodontics for Adults
factsheet
The process for adults
The process for moving teeth is basically the same at any age, but the treatment may take longer for adults. This is due to the fact that adult facial bones are no longer growing, and certain corrections may not be possible using only braces. Depending on the severity of your alignment problem sometimes a tooth extraction or surgery is required.
Many adults are also reluctant to begin treatments as they feel embarrassed to wear braces at an older age, however at Paramount Dental we offer a range of orthodontic appliances, braces and aligners that are far more flexible than the clunky old metal braces you might remember from 20 or 30 years ago.
Starting orthodontic treatments
The best way to begin is to book a regular checkup with our specialists here at Paramount Dental Sydney and talk to us about your concerns. We will conduct a thorough examination of your mouth, teeth and jaw to ensure that our recommendations are personalised to your unique situation. If you have been living with pain or having difficulties maintaining your overall dental health, please don’t delay in contacting our professional dental team here in our Sydney office.
COST
From $2,500
Several factors may vary and increase the cost of treatment. We can advise you of the full cost and provide a treatment plan after your first orthodontic consultation.
