It’s Never Too Late For A Beautiful, Healthy Smile In Bridgeport, CT

You are never too old for orthodontic treatment! At Commerce Park Children’s Dentistry & Orthodontics, we are happy to provide our adult community with not only the highest standard of orthodontic treatment available, but also a variety of effective treatment solutions. We provide orthodontic options that are convenient, comfortable and easily fit into a busy or professional lifestyle. Straightening your smile doesn’t have an age limit. In fact, adults can benefit from orthodontic treatment just as much as teenagers. Straight teeth are healthy teeth, which means your smile will last a lifetime.

Am I A Candidate For Adult Orthodontics?

The most common reason adults consider adult orthodontics is because their teeth have shifted, rotated, developed gaps in between them or have become overly crowded. As we age, it is normal for our teeth to begin to shift and move. This can cause teeth that have rotated or twisted over time, crowding, as well as abnormal wear and tear. Crowded teeth are more difficult to clean, which can lead to excessive buildup of plaque and decay. Rotated teeth, on the other hand, tend not to align well with others, causing chipped or broken teeth. Commerce Park Children’s Dentistry & Orthodontics is pleased to offer expert orthodontic care for adults through modern orthodontic techniques and innovations. We help adults navigate simple to complex orthodontic treatment with minimal impact on your lifestyles and routines.

Types Of Treatment Options For Adult Orthodontics

After your complimentary consultation at Commerce Park Children’s Dentistry & Orthodontics, we will discuss which treatment options are available. For the majority of adult patients, one of the following options will be an effective treatment solution in achieving a beautiful, straight smile:

A popular choice for adults, there are many benefits of this type of modern orthodontic treatment. Comfortable, smooth aligners are customized for each patient and progressively guide your teeth into the proper alignment. They can be removed for ease of cleaning and flossing teeth to maintain excellent oral hygiene throughout treatment.

This method allows our orthodontists to effectively manage moderate to severe orthodontic issues, such as extreme overcrowding or even tooth loss. While traditional braces are metal, they are made with smooth, rounded edges for optimal comfort.

This is a great option for adults looking for a softer look. They work the same as metal braces, but the brackets are made of tooth-colored ceramic to blend in with your natural teeth for aesthetic appeal.

What Are The Benefits Of Adult Orthodontics?

With advancements in technology, adult orthodontic treatment has increased dramatically. With improvements in comfort, innovation and options, it is clear why many adults choose to pursue orthodontic treatment later in life. There are many benefits of a well-aligned smile, including:

  • Correcting relapse from not wearing retainers after orthodontic treatment as a teenager
  • Creating a beautiful, healthy smile by closing gaps that have opened over time
  • Aligning the smile for easier cleaning and reducing plaque buildup between cleanings
  • Creating a more balanced and stable bite for chewing and biting food
  • Reducing excessive wear and tear on enamel as a result of malocclusion that has occurred over time
  • Enhancing self-confidence and rejuvenating your appearance
  • Correcting alignment issues before cosmetic restoration such as veneers
