While it is true that it is easier to straighten your teeth in your teenage years, there is every chance that you will be able to do so in your adult life. Adult braces have come leaps and bounds in recent years and gone are the days of metal braces being your only option for orthodontic treatment. Modern dentistry has created adult braces that are virtually unnoticeable to the naked eye and are very effective at shifting your teeth into their desired positions. Our passion has always been to provide you with dental care that exceeds your expectations and gets you the best results possible.

Adult braces are perfect for patients who are seeking to address concerns that they may have overlooked in the past and if you regret not receiving orthodontic treatment in your formative years, we can help you to achieve the beautifully straight smile you have always wanted. Sometimes our parents don’t feel as strongly as we do about certain things and perhaps they didn’t value having a straight smile as much as you do now but you can change that with adult braces. It’s never too late to correct your smile and with the options available to you there has never been a better time to get adult braces.

The benefits of adult braces

There are a whole host of benefits to be gleaned from having adult braces, both aesthetically and functionally. We know that you won’t want to wear your adult braces for too long and with the technological advancements that have been made in the field of adult orthodontic treatments you can now straighten your teeth in less time and with far more efficacy. Our range of discreet adult braces allows us to give you a straight smile while seamlessly blending them with the rest of your teeth so that they are almost invisible.

Of course, this is one of the major concerns for patients who are looking into adult braces and we totally understand your need for treatment solutions that are subtle but effective and we provide exactly that. Adult orthodontics are also remarkably comfortable and these days won’t hinder your ability to speak, eat or smile. With the advances in modern adult orthodontics, we can even minimise not only the length of your treatment but the time spent on visiting us as well, leaving you to do the things you really want to do. What many patients don’t realise about adult braces is the that they not only improve the cosmetic appeal of your smile but offer improved oral health by making your teeth easier to clean and thus far less likely to suffer from plaque or gum disease.

Adult orthodontics from Ocean Orthodontics

Here at Ocean Orthodontics, we offer 2 treatments that can effectively straighten your teeth without grabbing the attention of everyone you meet. Invisalign is a revolutionary treatment that makes use of a series of transparent removable aligners that we create using a mould from your teeth. These aligners are as unique as your own smile and are changed out every couple of weeks to match the progress of your shifting teeth.

While they can’t typically be termed adult braces, Invisalign is incredibly effective at making minor adjustments to crooked teeth while going almost completely under the radar with regards to their appearance. Incognito or lingual braces are far more effective at correcting more serious issues and work much the same way as traditional braces aside from one major difference. Incognito braces get their name from the fact that they are attached to the back of your teeth as opposed to the front of them and are thus almost impossible to see in everyday life. Because they use the same principles as traditional braces, Incognito braces can be tweaked and altered in order to give you the best results possible while remaining out of sight.
