Adult Orthodontics at Brookline Dental Specialists

Before and after photo of teeth with braces Braces are not just for kids anymore. in fact, a survey by the American Association of Orthodontists determined that over a million patients over the age of 18 wear braces each year! Orthodontic treatment has advanced over the years and there are many options and varieties available including traditional metal brackets and ceramic brackets that are clear, or translucent for cosmetic appeal. There are lingual brackets that can be mounted on the back of the teeth and even Invisalign removable plastic aligners which have no metal brackets or wires and can be removed for eating, brushing and flossing.

Your adult teeth can move or shift at any age. Many of our adult patients who choose braces are unhappy with the cosmetic appearance of their smile. They may have an overbite, an underbite, crowded, overlapping and crooked teeth or large spaces between their teeth. Braces used to realign adult teeth can help with other issues a patient may be experiencing due to their bite, or occlusion. These might include jaw pain, headaches, earaches, and potentially gastrointestinal disorders if food cannot be chewed properly.
