Psst! Hey, you! Are you a grown-up that needs braces? At Wiesemann Orthodontics, we regularly fit adults for braces. For adults seeking radiant smiles in Bowling Green, Russellville, Portland, and White House, we are the trusted destination. Our modern techniques result in shorter treatment times and enhanced comfort. Leading our incredible team is Dr. Ryan, who treats our patients with genuine care, just like good neighbors would. Rest assured, when you sit in our chairs, you’ll receive the exceptional treatment you deserve. So what kind of treatment do you need? What are the best types of braces for adults?
Invisalign: Your Orthodontic Cloak of Invisibility
Invisalign uses clear plastic aligners to straighten your teeth. Dr. Ryan will give you custom-made aligners designed to fit your unique smile. Our team will replace them every two weeks. This graduated process moves your teeth into the desired position.
One of the significant advantages of Invisalign clear aligners is that you can remove them to eat, drink, brush, and floss. So you can maintain your regular oral hygiene routine without the hassle of cleaning around brackets and wires. Additionally, removing the aligners for special occasions or important meetings can be an attractive feature for adults (that would be you).
Need a discreet treatment option? Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible. Furthermore, they are made of a smooth plastic material that does not irritate the inside of the mouth. This feature makes Invisalign aligners very comfortable to wear.
You’ll need to wear your Invisalign aligners for at least 22 hours daily for effective treatment. If you can’t stick with this regimen, your treatment might work slower than it should.
No brackets, no wires, no adjustments. Yay! Invisalign treatment generally requires fewer office visits than traditional braces. This can benefit you if you have limited time for orthodontic appointments. In some cases, you might complete Invisalign treatment more quickly than with traditional braces, depending on the complexity of your case. If you want to shorten the duration of your orthodontic treatment, that should sound very appealing.
The Mighty Metallic Option
The Mighty Metallic OptionDr. Ryan is also proud to use metal braces. They consist of brackets, wires, and elastics. These attachments hold the archwire in place. You’ll find them more compact and convenient than previous generations of metal braces. Many of our patients say these braces are much more comfortable than they’d imagined.
Metal braces from Dr. Ryan are made from high-grade stainless steel, which makes them incredibly strong and durable. They can withstand force better than other braces, making them ideal for adults with more severe dental issues requiring a more thorough solution.
Concerned about your braces staining? Not with these beauties! Unlike ceramic braces, metal braces do not stain over time. Want to add a little flare (or, dare we say…pizzazz) to your braces? Customize them with colored elastics to add some personality!
Metal braces have a long history of successful use in orthodontics and are considered a proven reliable treatment option. Adults who prefer a traditional, time-tested solution may be more comfortable with metal braces.
Keep Your Treatment On the DL With Clear Braces
Want to get treatment but don’t want your coworkers to know? We understand! You might ask Dr. Ryan about clear or ceramic braces.
If you pick this option, the doctor will craft your specific set of clear braces. He uses a transparent or tooth-matching material, subtly blending with your natural teeth and making them less visible than conventional metal braces. This feature is considerably enticing to many of our clients as it helps them maintain a low profile during their treatment phase. Clear braces function similarly to metal ones, the only difference being their less obvious appearance.
Often smaller and more exact than their metal variants, ceramic brackets give you a more precise alignment and movement of your teeth. This precision is particularly beneficial for adults who might have more complex orthodontic requirements.
Many of our patients report that ceramic braces’ smooth texture reduces irritation in their cheeks and gums. This comfort factor is particularly vital for adult patients who might have a lower tolerance to discomfort.
In certain instances, ceramic braces enable a quicker treatment period compared to other orthodontic alternatives, which could be attractive to adults seeking to reduce their treatment timeline. Less time in braces? Who wouldn’t sign up for that?
