So you are thinking about getting braces? First off, your timing is impeccable, and your smile will be soon! There has never been a better time for adult orthodontic care.
Did you know that more than 1.4 million adults had braces from 2012 to 2014? That’s equal to the entire population of the Birmingham, Ala. metro area. Over 25% of all people with braces in the U.S. and Canada are adults, according to the same survey from the American Association of Orthodontics.
There are more orthodontic treatment options available now than ever before. Technology has decreased the treatment time for adult braces. Additional advancements have also created more cosmetic options to match your personal style. Traditional metal braces are more subtle than in years past. You could also opt for ceramic, clear or slim gold brackets. It is now possible to look great while working toward your ideal grin. On top of all those benefits, one recent study shows that a bright smile can actually translate to increased income.
But how long will it really take and how will it work?

The benefit of a free consultation is coordinating your care with a licensed professional at a convenient time.
Traditional braces remain the staple of the orthodontic industry and it’s never too late to get started. We’ve successfully treated patients in their 80s, so there really is no age limit! It’s no wonder that up to a quarter of all braces patients in North America are adults. Studies show that their resulting bright smiles build confidence, which often results in more income. Keep on smiling until it literally pays off!
Invisalign has gained a lot of popularity in recent years, especially in the adult market. These custom-made aligners are smooth, comfortable, and practically invisible. The results are noticeable and gratifying. This could be the low risk solution that works best for you!
