Orthodontic treatment for adults offers benefits like better oral health, a show-stopping smile, or a boost in confidence. Dr. Ross and Dr. Rothenberg bring a friendly touch to adult orthodontic care in Miami, Kendall, and Pinecrest. Our practice uses modern technology to treat various orthodontic issues for adults in our area. Whether you’re thinking about metal braces, LightForce clear braces, or Invisalign, Orthodontics of South Miami is here to help. Here are a few ways orthodontic treatments from us can help our adult patients.
Overhaul Your Oral Health
Straighter teeth are smoother. That’s why they’re a lot easier to clean. And cleaner teeth are less likely to (gasp!) get cavities (major news, we know). When your teeth are misaligned, food can get trapped between them. Stuck food means plaque and gum disease. Getting orthodontic treatment as an adult helps reorient your teeth. The point? You’ll be an ace at brushing and flossing.
At Orthodontics of South Miami, Dr. Ross and Dr. Rothenberg offer adult treatments like braces and Invisalign. Our treatments improve your smile and make it easier to maintain good oral hygiene. With straight teeth, you cut down your risk of tooth decay and gum issues.
A well-aligned bite also helps prevent excessive wear on your teeth and reduces the strain on your jaw muscles. You’ll avoid issues like jaw pain and even headaches. By choosing orthodontic treatment, you’re investing in your long-term oral health.
Look Great, Feel Greater
A realigned smile does wonders for your confidence, too. Adult orthodontic treatment can transform your appearance. When you like the way you look, you’ll feel more self-assured in social and professional settings.
Feeling good about your smile can have a ripple effect in other areas of your life. It can bolster your self-esteem, make you more approachable, and even influence how others perceive you. When you’re confident in your smile, you’re more likely to share it with the world.
When you get metal braces, Lightforce clear braces, or Invisalign from us, you’re investing in your mental and emotional health. People who smile better tend to have a more positive outlook on life and demonstrate more resilience.
How Adults Benefit from Treatment
Orthodontic treatment for adults means getting the smile you’ve always wanted. It improves your bite and overall dental functionality. A well-aligned smile makes chewing and speaking easier. Better still, it reduces pain in your jaw, face, head, and neck.
Bite Back Against Malocclusion
Misaligned bites (you may hear the doctors say “malocclusion”), like overbites and underbites, can cause discomfort and difficulty chewing. Orthodontic treatments at Orthodontics of South Miami can correct these issues and give you a more balanced bite. You lessen your chances of uneven tooth wear and potential jaw problems. Our team uses advanced techniques to make your bite functional and comfortable.
Padding Your Palate
When your teeth are where they ought to be, chewing becomes more efficient and less stressful. You’ll enjoy your food better and improve your digestion. Additionally, a correct bite can help other people better understand you when you speak. Misaligned teeth can cause speech impediments. If you’re an adult who struggles with speaking, orthodontic treatment can help. It’s never too late to get the smile you deserve.
No Pain, No Gain (NO THANKS!)
An incorrect bite can place extra strain on your jaw. You’ll notice pain and discomfort. Over time, strain can cause issues like temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. Think of your TMJ like a hinge that connects your jaw to the rest of your skull. By adjusting your bite, orthodontic treatment helps spread that pressure evenly across all your teeth.
Better Smile, Brighter Future
If you’re an adult with a malocclusion (remember? bad bite!), come see Dr. Ross or Dr. Rothenberg. Sooner is better than later. By addressing issues early, you can avoid more severe problems down the line.
Misaligned teeth can lead to wear and tear on your enamel. If that goes on too long, your teeth will become more susceptible to damage. Improperly aligned teeth can also cause jaw strain and even TMJ disorders.
