Braces Are For Adults, Too
One common misconception is that braces are only for children and teens. In fact, many adults are increasingly turning to braces to get the smile they’ve always wanted.
To avoid the pain, discomfort, and overall downsides of orthodontic misalignment, you can get braces as an adult. This sets you up for ideal orthodontic health in your later life, eliminating all the problems your cramped teeth deal with in the meantime.
Better yet, did you know braces are in style? There’s never been a better time to start treatment and get the smile you deserve.
Is It Ever Too Late To Get Braces?
It’s never too late to get braces! While it is true that most people get orthodontic treatment while they are young, our office sees a lot of adult patients. Why are so many adults seeking treatment?
Some adults seek treatment because they now have the income to care for their smiles. We’ve made great progress in making a healthy smile accessible to everyone. Other adults may have already had braces, but failed to wear their retainer. For former adult patients of Castilla Orthodontics, we offer the Guarantee My Smile program.
This program is a cutting-edge service we offer to patients who have been through orthodontic treatment with us. Once you finish treatment, you can come back anytime to have braces put back on. We truly are passionate about making perfect smiles accessible to all and Guarantee My Smile ensures just that. Find out more info on Guarantee My Smile here!
Other reasons for adult braces include oral health changes or damage. For instance, an accident involving the jaws, gums, or mouth might require adjustment with braces.
You may be considering braces for these or other reasons. We can evaluate your smile and offer personalized recommendations.
What Options Are Available for Braces?
Many adults hesitate to get braces due to concerns about their appearance. However, braces have evolved and now offer more options that can fit your personal style.
Today, braces can be customized with a variety of colors for both brackets and rubber bands. These choices not only allow you to express your personality but also make the treatment process more enjoyable. Embrace the opportunity to improve your smile with braces that align with your style and preferences.
Metal Braces
These braces for adults come to mind when you think of braces in the first place. Because orthodontics is a constantly advancing field, metal braces have come a long way and are much more comfortable and effective. You can also customize your metal braces with different colors and color combinations.
Gold Braces
Lightweight and stylish, these braces for adults work wonders for those who want a more stylish look. Gold braces have slimmer brackets and wires than metal braces, giving them a sleek appearance without sacrificing efficiency.
Clear Braces
While braces are in style, clear braces for adults work wonders for those with reservations about having a more visible treatment option. Clear braces work the same as metal braces do, meaning each bracket will attach to each tooth to guide it into place.
Color Braces
Show off your braces in style with customized color bands you choose! Patients can customize their brackets, choosing different colored rubber bands for a fun touch that fits their personality, favorite team, or holiday! For some color braces ideas, check out our Color My Braces page!
You can’t go wrong with any of these options since they deliver the same great results. Our team can tell you everything you need to know about the best braces option for you.
Cost of Braces
Castilla Orthodontics has broken away from a traditional pricing model. Our patient’s final price will vary because of insurance and payment plans, but every patient’s total cost will be the same price. This is our commitment to fair treatment for every patient who walks through our doors. To find out more info on what this price will be for you, contact our office today!
Care of Braces
Meticulous care of braces prevents appliance issues that could cause discomfort and add more costs to treatment. Patients with braces should:
- Wear mouthguards when participating in contact sports.
- Take more time brushing and flossing to flush out leftover food from the braces.
- Refrain from eating hard or chewy foods that may damage the braces.
Services Provided by Castilla Orthodontics
Castilla Orthodontics is an orthodontic specialty team providing oral health care to kids, teens, and adults. Our mission is to offer affordable quality care to create long-lasting, beautiful smiles while improving patient experiences.
Castilla Orthodontics can fix any smile. However, we understand that the journey to a beautiful smile isn’t always straightforward.
Our office is the only provider of the “Guarantee My Smile” program in the Mid-Valley area. If you forget your retainer and your smile begins to slip back into its former state, we can put braces back on for $149 per month.
Furthermore, we know that after braces removal, teeth are sometimes less white than they once were. Castilla Orthodontics offers a take-home whitening gel for purchase following braces removal.
Our additional patient-centric benefits include a bilingual team, same-day braces, and our amazing retainer replacement program.
