Early treatment

IT’S NEVER TOO LATE FOR YOUR DREAM SMILE

Whether you had braces as a kid or have always wanted to improve your smile, Dr. Jones and our team are happy to help you receive braces as an adult. Metal braces are an excellent way to straighten your smile, and in today’s day, they are smaller, sleeker and more comfortable than braces of the past. We also offer ceramic braces for a more discreet option. At Jones Family Orthodontics in Monroe, our top rated orthodontist and team look forward to helping you find the perfect treatment for you and your needs.

Why Choose Braces For Adults?

Life changes, and so can your smile. Many adults choose orthodontics for a variety of reasons and benefits, including to:

  • Improve bite function
  • Correct overbites or underbites

  • Boost confidence
  • Correct crowding or spacing

  • Make daily brushing and flossing easier

  • Maintain healthier long-term gums and teeth

Traditional Metal Braces For Adults

At Jones Family Orthodontics, we offer traditional metal braces for adults. Braces use gentle pressure in order to move your teeth into their new positions. Braces include brackets and wires, also called archwires, that are changed over treatment to move your teeth.

Benefits Of Metal Braces

Braces for adults have many advantages. Just some of the benefits include:

  • Sleeker Than Ever Before: When you think of traditional metal braces, you may think of the clunky metal braces of the past. Today, traditional metal braces for adults are slimmer and less noticeable than ever before.

  • Tried And True Treatment: Metal braces are an excellent choice for treating orthodontic needs of all kinds.

  • Durable: They are also very durable, as long as you follow the food guidelines from Dr. Jones, like avoiding sticky candies and hard foods like popcorn and corn on the cob.

Ceramic Braces For Adults

Ceramic braces are another popular option that we offer here at Jones Family Orthodontics. They offer a more discreet look, but they can be a more costly investment since, if broken, ceramic brackets must be replaced instead of repaired. Ceramic braces are:

  • Less Visible: Ceramic braces are virtually clear, as they are made of a translucent material. This makes them less noticeable, which is an excellent option if you want a more discreet treatment option or if you are self-conscious about your smile.

Life With Braces For Adults

Our approach to braces for adults focuses on gentle forces and modern materials that feel better and look better. You may experience some minor tenderness after adjustments, but don’t worry, that’s common.

Typically, any discomfort will go away within a few days and can be managed with over-the-counter pain medicines and techniques such as warm saltwater rinses. Most adults adapt quickly and continue doing all the things they love while undergoing orthodontic treatment. We also invite you to learn more tips on our comfort care page.

Am I A Good Candidate?

If your teeth and gums are healthy and you’re motivated, you’re likely a good candidate for braces for adults. Even if you’ve had orthodontic treatment before, we can address relapse, shifting or bite changes that developed over time. During your consultation with Dr. Jones, he’ll explain what he recommends and how he can align your treatment with your priorities. To get started, schedule your complimentary consultation today!
