Orthodontics is not just for children…
In the past few years we have seen a remarkable increase in adult patients looking to correct problems that were left untreated as a child. After spending many years suffering from misaligned teeth and the many problems associated with this condition, adults are looking to improve their current oral health situation.
There are many reasons why you may consider orthodontic treatment, all of which can offer a life changing result that will continue to be beneficial to your function and overall health as you age.

The benefits of adult orthodontics include:
- Enhance your appearance and self-confidence
- Correct crooked teeth and close gaps
- Improve the ability to clean and maintain a healthy mouth
- Reduction of tooth wear due to a balanced occlusion (bite)
- In preparation for restorative dentistry such as implants or bridges
- To resolve muscle/joint tension and pain associated with an incorrect occlusion
Why choose orthodontics
You are only given one set of functioning adult teeth and although you do have replacement options, nothing is as good as maintaining your own strong and healthy teeth.
In the past many patients opted for extraction over orthodontics when it came to misaligned or failing teeth. Following this, patients chose to have dentures placed, only to find this created a very unhelpful, embarrassing and cumbersome addition to their life. Even those who have gaps from extracted teeth have found that through over eruption and drifting of opposing and neighbouring teeth, the surrounding teeth are suffering and are also headed for removal due to bone loss and excessive wear.
Your commitment to orthodontics is the decision to take charge of your future, giving yourself the best opportunity to maintain a healthy mouth and continue to consume all the foods necessary to give you the strength and essential nutrients to live a long, confident, independent and healthy life.
