What are the options for Braces for an adult in San Gabriel?

As cosmetic procedures have become mainstream, accessible, and popular, many men and women are investing their time and resources to restore youthfulness or correct changes that occur with age. We scrutinize many aspects of our bodies that we perceive to have imperfections or in which we see opportunities to improve.

What are the options for Braces for an adult in San Gabriel?

Your smile is one of your most powerful assets, exuding confidence, competence, and compassion in business and in personal interactions. In terms of return on investment, your commitment to simple modifications that refresh your vitality or to the repair of serious oral health conditions can pay off exponentially.

The reason adults are considering braces today

Advances in technology and the appearance, affordability, and acceptability are encouraging more adults to consider the cosmetic benefits of braces. In fact, individuals aged 18 and older now account for approximately 20% of all patients obtaining braces. The main factors influencing those decisions are the efficiency and reduced length of time that braces need to be worn, decreased cost, proven effectiveness, and the ability to customize treatment to meet your goals and lifestyle.

When we feel good about our smiles, we share them more often, rejuvenating our moods, and enhancing the way that we interact with professional colleagues and loved ones.

Benefits of braces in adulthood

The reasons for considering braces in adulthood are varied and include:

  • Making minor improvements to straighten teeth
  • Filling in gaps between teeth
  • Improving dental hygiene and reducing the risk of gum disease by realigning teeth that are difficult to clean
  • Correcting overbite, underbite, and impairments that affect daily activities

Gentle Care Dentistry and Dr. Brianne Luu offer several options in adult braces:

  • Clear braces – also a viable solution for correcting minor alignment issues without the worry of visible braces, these corrective braces can be removed when eating or cleaning teeth.
  • Traditional braces – crooked teeth or misalignment of the teeth that cause overbite or underbite issues may not have been addressed in childhood or may be the result of age. Traditional braces are the best option to adjust more serious conditions.
