Transform Your Smile at Any Age
Orthodontic treatment is no longer just for teenagers. In fact, the American Association of Orthodontists reports that one in five orthodontic patients is over the age of 21. More adults in Bettendorf, Rock Island, and Geneseo, IL, are improving their health and enhancing their appearance with orthodontic care. At Quad City Orthodontics, we are dedicated to helping you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted and boost your confidence.
Why Adults Consider Orthodontic Treatment
Adults look for orthodontic treatment for different reasons, including:
- Malocclusion: A misaligned bite that causes teeth to fit together incorrectly.
- Crowded or Spaced Teeth: Gaps or overlaps that can lead to tooth decay or gum disease.
- Jaw Pain or Pressure: Discomfort caused by crooked teeth.
- Worn teeth: correcting alignment will help reduce further wear
- Desire for a Healthier Smile: Improving oral health and enhancing self-confidence.
Treatment Options for Adults
For many adults, the idea of metal braces can be unappealing. Fortunately, today’s orthodontic treatments offer a range of options that are both comfortable and aesthetically pleasing:
- Clear Aligners: Nearly invisible and removable for convenience.
- Clear Braces: Transparent braces that blend with your natural teeth.
- Damon Brackets: Self-ligating braces that reduce friction and make treatment more comfortable.
- Traditional Metal Braces: Time-tested and effective for all types of orthodontic issues.
Benefits of Orthodontic Treatment
- Straight Teeth Are Healthy Teeth: Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
- A Beautiful, Straight Smile Builds Confidence: Orthodontic treatment can enhance your self-esteem and quality of life by allowing you to smile freely.
- Prevent Future Health Issues: Addressing orthodontic problems early can prevent more severe issues and higher costs later on.
