- it’s never too late for a beautiful smile The first and most important thing to understand is that it’s never too late to start orthodontic treatment. Modern orthodontics offers many solutions tailored to the needs of adult patients.
2 Types of braces Different types of braces are available to adult patients:
Classic fixed braces, which are most effective for complex malocclusions.
Ceramic fixed braces, which are less visible than metal braces.
Clear orthodontic trays, popular for their discretion and comfort.
3 Duration of treatment The duration of orthodontic treatment for adults can vary and depends on the individual situation. On average it lasts from 18 months to 3 years, but it is important to remember that each case is different.
4 Cost of treatment The cost of orthodontic treatment can vary depending on the type of braces and the complexity of the case. It is always advisable to consult your orthodontist to get a detailed cost estimate.
5 Maintaining hygiene During orthodontic treatment, maintaining good oral hygiene is even more important. Regular brushing and flossing around your braces is key to preventing tooth decay and gum disease.
- follow-up visits Regular follow-up visits to the orthodontist are essential to monitor the progress of treatment and make any necessary adjustments.
7 Post-treatment effects After treatment, you can expect not only an improvement in the aesthetics of your smile, but also an improvement in chewing and speaking function and even a reduction in malocclusion-related discomfort.
