Are you an adult who is considering getting braces? Perhaps you’ve had them before, but over the years that dental work has been reversed or relapsed. Or maybe you’ve never had any orthodontic work done, but are considering straightening your teeth for the first time. In either case, we at Panorama Orthodontics can help you enjoy straighter teeth, an improved bite, and a more beautiful, confident smile. If you are considering getting braces, here is what you need to know about adult orthodontics with Dr. Chow.
Can Braces Work For Adults?
Absolutely! Orthodontic treatment is suitable for just about anyone. However, there are several different types of orthodontic appliances and braces, and some may be more suitable and more effective for you. Different types of orthodontic treatments include:
- Ceramic braces
- Metal braces
- Clear removable aligners or Invisalign
- Lingual brackets (braces behind the teeth)
- Invisible braces
- Headgear and other appliances
- Surgical corrections of jaw disharmonies
By scheduling a consultation, we can determine which treatment or combination of treatments would be best for your specific needs.
How Do I Get Started?
Starting orthodontic treatment can be a little bit daunting. At first glance, the process may appear expensive and time-consuming. However, if you take it step by step, getting your beautiful smile can be a simple and relatively pain-free experience. Here are the first steps you need to take to get on the road to straight teeth:
First, you need information. If you are nervous about getting braces, or are having trouble getting started, learning more about the process can help ease your mind. We are here to answer all of your questions at your initial consultation:
- What kind of braces do you recommend for my teeth?
- How long will the treatment take?
- How often will I need to come in for adjustments?
- What is the total cost of the treatment? How does my insurance work? Why types of flexible payment plans are available?
Your consultation will be an experience that allows you to learn and understand what to expect during the entire process. Dr. Chow will spend a significant amount of time with you during your one-hour consultation to ensure that you understand all the ins and outs of your planned treatment.
Best of all, our initial consultations are complimentary, and do not require a referral from your dentist. So lend us an hour of your time, and we’ll be pleased to get you started on the path towards a new confident smile!
