The Importance of Orthodontics for Adults
When problematic orthodontic conditions are left untreated, they can lead to a number of complications, including:
- Misaligned, crooked or crowded teeth
- Discomfort or pain when chewing or biting
- Heavy wear spots on the teeth
- Shifting, cracking or popping when moving the jaw
- Mouth breathing
- Trouble sleeping or swallowing
- Top and bottom teeth do not come together properly
According to Cigna, 93% of people who are completely satisfied with their smile report having an ‘excellent’ or ‘very good’ sense of self-confidence.
On the other hand, only 30% of people who are not satisfied with their smile report having an ‘excellent’ or ‘very good’ sense of self-confidence.
Your smile has a direct impact on your self-confidence and self-esteem! A healthy sense of self-confidence can open doors for you, socially and professionally.
When is it too late to get braces?
It’s never too late to begin orthodontic treatment. An estimated one fourth of orthodontic patients are adults!
Though the AAO recommends that a person receive their first orthodontic screening around age 7 (while the teeth are still erupting and the jaws are still developing), orthodontic treatment can improve your quality of life at every age.
Invisalign and different types of braces for adults are highly effective for straightening the teeth, aligning the bite, and optimizing overall functionality—even when the teeth and jaws are fully developed.
