Adult Orthodontics at Any Age
Orthodontic treatment is not just for kids and teens. According to the American Association of Orthodontists, one in five orthodontic patients today is an adult over the age of 21. More and more adults in Studio City, CA, and surrounding areas are choosing to invest in their smiles, not only to improve appearance but also to support long-term oral health.
Whether you missed out on braces as a child or you’ve noticed new changes in your smile over time, it’s never too late to begin orthodontic treatment. At Studio City Orthodontist, we specialize in helping adults achieve healthy, confident smiles with solutions that fit into busy lifestyles.
Why Adults Choose Orthodontic Treatment
Adults seek orthodontic care for many reasons, both cosmetic and health-related. Common concerns include:
Bad bite or malocclusion: Teeth that don’t fit together properly can affect chewing, speaking, and even jaw health.
Crowded or spaced teeth: Misaligned teeth can create areas that are hard to clean, increasing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
Jaw pain or pressure: Crooked teeth and bite issues may contribute to headaches, TMJ discomfort, or uneven wear on teeth.
Desire for confidence: A straight, attractive smile can enhance self-esteem and make a strong impression both personally and professionally.
Adult Braces and Other Teeth Straightening Options
One of the biggest hesitations adults have is the idea of wearing bulky metal braces. Fortunately, orthodontics has come a long way, and today’s treatments are more discreet, comfortable, and efficient than ever before. We offer:
Invisalign Clear Aligners: Virtually invisible trays that gently shift teeth into place, removable for meals, brushing, and flossing, and a popular choice for professionals and adults with busy lifestyles.
Clear Ceramic Braces: Tooth-colored brackets that blend in with natural teeth while providing the control of traditional braces with a more subtle appearance.
Traditional Metal Braces: Strong and highly effective for even complex cases, with modern designs that are smaller, smoother, and more comfortable than braces of the past.
Each option is tailored to your specific needs, ensuring treatment fits your goals and daily routine.
The Benefits of Adult Orthodontics
Choosing orthodontic treatment as an adult goes beyond aesthetics. Some key benefits include:
Straighter teeth are healthier teeth: Aligned teeth are easier to brush and floss, reducing risks of decay, gum disease, and even bone loss.
Improved confidence: A beautiful smile can make you feel more comfortable in social and professional settings.
Long-term savings: Addressing orthodontic issues now helps prevent more serious (and costly) dental problems in the future.
Better overall health: Research shows that good oral health is linked to overall wellness, making orthodontics an investment in your whole body health.
