Adults Can Get Braces, Too!

Home » Blog » Adults Can Get Braces, Too!

Castilla Orthodontics
January 18, 2017

Today, adult braces make up about half of all orthodontic treatments in the United States. It is never too late for an adult to attain a healthier mouth, straighter teeth, and a perfect smile. Dr. Ana E. Castilla and the team at Castilla Orthodontics near Sublimity, OR are experts in adult orthodontic treatment.

There is a general misconception that braces are worn only by children and teenagers. But, orthodontic treatments with braces have evolved considerably in recent years. Braces have become more lightweight and easier to install and remove. At Castilla Orthodontics, adults are choosing orthodontic treatments with adult braces more and more frequently.

Why Adult Braces?

Misaligned or crooked teeth (malocclusions) affect our appearance and our self-esteem, and poor dental and oral health care can be a contributing cause to a number of adult-related health care concerns.

Improperly aligned teeth can cause problems chewing food, which may lead to gastrointestinal complications. Misaligned teeth and crossbites can trap food and increase the likelihood of plaque buildup. These conditions increase the chances of an adult patient developing gum disease and other more serious health-related complications (tooth decay, toothaches, earaches, and headaches). A crooked-toothed smile may also cause problems with public speaking, cause self-image concerns, and even prevent professional growth and advancement.

Dr. Castilla understands the reasons why an adult near Sublimity, OR may need to wear braces, and he helps each patient attain their adult treatment goals with sensitivity and compassion.

What are the Different Types of Adult Braces?

The Castilla Orthodontics team offers a wide range of orthodontic treatment options currently available for adults.

  • Traditional Metal Braces: These are made of high-quality stainless steel, and many orthodontists feel that they are the most effective devices for straightening teeth, especially in cases where there may be severe misalignment. They often produce the desired treatment outcomes faster than any other type of braces.
  • Clear Ceramic Braces: Clear ceramic braces for adults are fitted to the front of the teeth and match the color of the individual’s teeth. Many people who want their braces to be less conspicuous, for aesthetic or professional reasons prefer clear ceramic braces.
  • Lingual or Concealed Braces: Lingual braces have brackets that keep them in place and are affixed to the back of the teeth. These braces are not outwardly visible.
  • Invisalign a.k.a clear aligners: Clear, easily removed plastic tray aligners that are ideal for adult patients with mild teeth-spacing issues. The aligners are able to be removed while eating, when brushing teeth, and when flossing. This is a healthy and hygienic choice for adults considering braces near Sublimity, OR. These braces are almost invisible and are preferred by people who feel self-conscious about appearing in public with braces on.

At Castilla Orthodontics, Invisalign treatment is quickly gaining popularity and often a top choice for our adult patients.

If you have misaligned or crooked teeth, or just want to improve your smile, adult braces may be the right choice for you. Remember, there is no age limit for treatment for an existing orthodontic problem. The only way to find out what adult orthodontic treatment procedure is right for you is by scheduling a free consultation with Castilla Orthodontics near Sublimity, OR. Call Dr. Ana E. Castilla today at: 503-399-0721

Chad S.
Before finally making the decisions to get braces for myself I had done several consultations and the cost/payments at other orthodontists was overwhelming. Then I saw an add for Castilla so I decided this was going to be my last consultation, if it didn’t go well then I’d be done trying. The consultation went great, the monthly payment was more than reasonable so I took the plunge and so far my experience has been great. We even had our oldest daughter get braces here, and even though she stared her treatment plan after I did and then had hers removed while mine are still on, I’m not bitter! 😜
Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing your experience, Chad! We're thrilled to hear that you found our consultation helpful and affordable. It's wonderful to know your daughter is also getting her braces here. We appreciate your trust!
