Orthodontic Advantages

Everyone deserves a smile they can be proud of, and many people achieve straight, well-aligned teeth after undergoing orthodontic treatment as a child. However, a large number of adults have orthodontic issues that weren’t addressed during childhood. Thankfully, it’s never too late to get the stunning smile you’ve always wanted.

Approximately 20 percent of all orthodontic patients are adults, perhaps due to advancements in modern dentistry that allow for more discreet and less invasive orthodontic treatments. In addition to cosmetic reasons, many adults are realizing the long-term oral health benefits associated with having straighter teeth.

Advancements in Orthodontic Treatments

Many adults complete orthodontic treatment in just a matter of months. Today’s braces can be made from ceramic to blend in with the natural shade of your teeth. We also offer ClearCorrect removable braces made of nearly-invisible materials. 

The average treatment time for ClearCorrect is only 12 months and you’ll start to see results within the first few months. Since the trays are removable, you also won’t have to worry about diet restrictions like with traditional braces.

We Want to Help You Achieve Your Perfect Smile

Functionally and aesthetically, a perfect smile has several advantages. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Stroumpos by calling (281) 286-3838 and begin your journey to a perfect smile that radiates confidence. 

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I expect during adult orthodontic treatment?

During your orthodontic screening, you’ll undergo an examination and we’ll use digital imaging to determine the position of your teeth and bite. Your orthodontist will map out a treatment plan designed to give you the straightest teeth possible in the least amount of time. 

Depending on the type of braces you choose – traditional or removable – you’ll be fitted for your appliance and given instructions on how frequently to return for follow-up appointments.

Will I need to follow any special instructions while I have my braces?

While orthodontic treatments are non-surgical, you’ll need to follow any guidelines recommended by Dr. Stroumpos for the best results. If you’re wearing clear aligners, you’ll need to change out your trays every few days or weeks. 

You’ll also be instructed to wear your aligners at all times, with the exception of during meals and while brushing your teeth. If you have traditional metal or ceramic braces, you may be given special instructions to avoid biting down on hard or chewy foods, such as popcorn kernels, ice, and taffy.

Are orthodontic treatments painful?

You may experience mild discomfort during orthodontic treatments. This is normal as your teeth are moving into their desired position. A few days after swapping out your ClearCorrect aligner trays, or having your braces adjusted, any soreness should subside. You can manage your discomfort with over-the-counter pain relievers or a cold compress.

Am I a candidate for adult orthodontics?

Most people are candidates for adult orthodontics, especially if your teeth are crowded, overlapping, crooked, or have gaps between them. To find out more about your treatment options, schedule a consultation with Dr. Stroumpos by calling (281) 286-3838. 

During the consultation, you’ll discuss your smile goals with Dr. Stroumpos and he’ll examine your oral health to create a customized treatment plan to fit your needs.
