According to the American Association of Orthodontists, adult orthodontic patients have reached record numbers. But what’s behind this growing trend?
Adults are recognizing the incredible benefits of orthodontic treatment, including improved oral health, a boost in confidence, and affordability. With modern advancements, getting braces as an adult has never been more accessible or discreet.
Let’s take a closer look at the top reasons why adults are choosing to straighten their smiles:
1. Feel Great About Your Smile
If you’ve ever felt self-conscious about your smile, you’re not alone! Many adults hesitate to show their teeth in photos or social settings due to misalignment or crowding. But it’s never too late to make a change!
At Greater Houston Orthodontics, our expert orthodontists—Dr. Amir Davoody, Dr. Rana Mehr, and Dr. Panagiotis Kyteas—have helped countless adults achieve smiles they’re proud to share. With years of experience and state-of-the-art treatment options, we make sure every patient experiences predictable and life-changing results.
Smiling with confidence can transform your personal and professional interactions, giving you the boost you need to put your best foot forward!
2. More Treatment Options
One of the biggest concerns for adults considering braces is appearance. Not everyone wants to wear traditional metal braces, especially in professional or social settings.
The good news? You have options! At Greater Houston Orthodontics, we offer a variety of discreet and effective solutions, including:
- Clear Ceramic Braces: Blend in with your teeth for a more subtle look.
- Invisalign Clear Aligners: Virtually invisible trays that straighten your smile without brackets and wires.
- Metal Braces: A reliable and effective option for all cases.
With so many choices available, adults can undergo orthodontic treatment with confidence, knowing their braces will fit seamlessly into their lifestyle.
3. Affordable Orthodontic CareÂ
At Greater Houston Orthodontics, we are committed to providing affordable orthodontic care for families and offer a variety of payment options to meet their needs.
4. It’s About More Than Just Straight Teeth
While a beautiful smile is a major benefit, orthodontic treatment goes beyond aesthetics. The alignment of your teeth and jaw affects critical functions like breathing, chewing, and speaking.
Misaligned teeth or a narrow upper jaw can contribute to breathing difficulties, mouth breathing, and even poor sleep quality. Many adults don’t realize that orthodontic treatment can improve:
- Breathing and airway health
- Sleep quality and snoring issues
- Speech clarity
- Bite function and digestion
By correcting alignment, we help patients achieve long-term health benefits that go beyond cosmetic improvements.
