Adult Orthodontics

When you wake up in the morning, one of the first things you probably do is go to the bathroom to brush your teeth. For some adults, the smile in the mirror is enough to get their day started off on the wrong foot. Whether you’re unhappy with the way your teeth look or are concerned for your oral health, you can have a beautiful smile just like teens and young adults. With significant advancements in technology and techniques, braces are more comfortable, less visible and, in some cases, faster working than they used to be. Today’s braces offer the following benefits:

The good news is that science and technology advances have come a long way, making treatment options for adults more comfortable and less noticeable than ever before. At Smarter Orthodontics by Dr. Maria Yazji, you’ll find that many treatment options for adults are designed to be discreet to better fit your lifestyle.

Traditional wire braces are still a popular choice for adults due to their overall strength, affordability and effectiveness. They are often recommended for more complex orthodontic cases and typically work more quickly than ceramic braces. Advances in modern braces technology have also contributed to smaller and more comfortable brackets, making them a tried-and-true option for all ages. Whatever it is that your smile needs, Dr. Yazji specializes in personalized braces treatment designed to get you the smile you’ve always wanted!

Invisalign® is known for its nearly invisible aligner trays. While you go about your day and sleep at night, the aligners go to work stealthily moving and shifting your teeth into the correct positions. One of the many benefits of this clear aligner system is its removability, which means you can take out your aligners and enjoy that buttery, crunchy popcorn at the movies and more! Invisalign® also requires fewer in-office appointments since your treatment is pre-programmed and you do not have to worry about broken brackets or wires coming loose.

Incognito™ Lingual Braces are placed on the back (lingual) surface of the teeth, making them virtually invisible when smiling. Unlike traditional braces that are attached to the front of the teeth, lingual braces offer a more discreet option for patients seeking their dream smile without the noticeable appearance of traditional braces.

Ceramic braces work the same way as traditional metal braces, but instead of metal, the brackets are made of ceramic or porcelain materials that are clear in appearance. Because of their discreet design, clear braces can be a good option for adult patients who prefer an inconspicuous treatment option.
