Orthodontic treatment in adults

Adult orthodontics is suitable for patients who did not have orthodontic treatment in childhood, whose previous result has relapsed, or whose tooth position has changed because of periodontal disease, missing teeth, or prosthetic planning needs. It is often considered for adult tooth alignment, crooked teeth, or bite concerns that affect function or smile appearance.

In adult treatment, aesthetics and comfort are especially important. Depending on the case, discreet options such as clear aligners or tooth-colored brackets may be used to improve tooth alignment, bite comfort, hygiene access, and smile appearance.
