Adult Treatment Vs. Pediatric Treatment
With a wide variety of orthodontic treatments, likeClear BracesandInvisalignaligners, it’s no wonder so many adults are choosing Carvalho & Roth Orthodontics to perfect their smiles, regardless of their age! While orthodontic treatment is suitable for patients of all ages, there are a few fundamental differences between adult treatments and treatments for children:
Differences In The Jaw & Teeth
In an adult, the jaw is no longer developing or growing, making it impossible to change the actual structure of the jaw. When adults need orthodontic treatment to correct crooked or misaligned teeth, orthognathic surgery may be necessary (in conjunction with adult braces) in order to properly straighten the teeth and jaws.
Differences In The Gums
Whether you’re a child, teenager, or an adult, your gums must be healthy before orthodontic treatment can start, as braces or aligners put constant pressure on the teeth to prompt them to move through the gum tissue. While kids generally have healthy gums, many adults have some form of gum disease present, making it difficult to initiate the treatment process. If you’re an adult who wants to start treatment at Carvalho & Roth Orthodontics and you have any sign of gum disease, you’ll have to improve the health of your gums before you can start wearing braces or utilize Invisalign clear braces!
Faster Adult Treatment Times At Carvalho & Roth Orthodontics
On average, adults are usually more cooperative than kids! Whether it’s staying on top of making orthodontic appointments, or following directions about caring for their teeth and braces perfectly, this good patient compliance helps make the adult treatment process smoother and faster at Carvalho & Roth Orthodontics.
