Adult Braces From Our Orthodontic Specialists
Adult braces and specialist orthodontic care encompass a lot more than just straight teeth and a brighter smile. Improperly aligned teeth lead to a whole host of dental problems, from loose teeth caused by a misaligned bite pattern to jaw pain, difficulty chewing or pain when chewing certain foods, to tooth decay, gum disease, and cavities. The more crooked the teeth are, including overlapping and misalignment, the more difficult it is to properly brush the full surface and floss in between the teeth. As dental professionals with over 75 years of combined experience, we’ve encountered misaligned teeth that are almost too hard even for us to clean!
Overcrowding and misalignment can be easily fixed with braces and other teeth alignment devices. Our personalized treatments are crafted for your unique mouth and needs, considering not just the cosmetic outcome, but what’s healthiest for your teeth and gums.
If you still think of clunky, bulky braces—or even headgear—as your only option for straight teeth as an adult, you’ll be pleasantly surprised with how many options for Helena adult braces our practice offers. You can choose thin, clear brackets that are virtually invisible from just a couple of feet away, or skip the brackets altogether and opt for invisible aligners. Both options provide a gentle yet constant force on your teeth, moving them into the correct position. And our office provides ongoing follow-up care, so your teeth remain in their new, healthier position.
