Braces will always be associated with the teenage years and grown-ups trying to make their children’s teeth straighter and neater. However, for many adults, the chance to have braces in their early years was missed, and this means that they often have to suffer from misaligned teeth and crooked shapes, which can make them feel embarrassed when they would normally be laughing or smiling. If you are one of these adults and want to transform your smile, then you could benefit from our team’s range of adult braces in Encino.

You Don’t Have to Be Afraid of Braces

Many adults who have not had their teeth straightened while they are young put off the process because they are worried about the pain and discomfort. Many are also deterred from having braces because of the idea of being an adult and having to use the metal braces that are familiar to us from our youth.

However, neither of these fears is necessarily right, and you may find that you don’t need to worry about braces if you are prepared to get them treated by a specialist.  There are modern types of dental braces that can be used by adults and are more discreet than the standard teenage braces. Some will allow you to go without them for some hours, which means that you can attend dinners or meetings without having to have braces on your teeth.

Special Braces for Adults

Adults can use a number of different types of braces to ensure that their teeth are straightened in a discreet manner.

For example, you may find that lingual braces are some of the best alternatives, being fitted to the inside part of the mouth so that the braces are never seen by others. You may also choose clear braces, known as Invisalign, which are removable and can be used to make sure that your teeth are straightened gradually without being too obvious. You can also take out these braces when you wish to go somewhere important without affecting the final outcome of your treatment.

Invisalign services are recommended by many professionals. These braces may be perfect for you to use on a daily basis and can be the ideal way for adults to change the look of their smile without pain or embarrassment.
