While there may be an initial adjustment period, braces should not significantly interfere with daily activities. Adults can continue to participate in sports, play musical instruments, and engage in other hobbies. It is recommended to wear a mouthguard during contact sports to protect the braces and teeth. Overall, with proper care and adjustments, braces should not hinder an active lifestyle

Clear aligners, such as Spark, are a popular choice for adults seeking a discreet orthodontic treatment option. They can effectively straighten teeth and correct bite issues in many cases. However, the suitability of clear aligners depends on the specific orthodontic problems being addressed. Orthodontists will evaluate each case individually to determine if clear aligners are the best option or if traditional braces might be more effective

A palatal expander is an orthodontic device used to widen the upper jaw. It consists of two halves connected by a screw or expansion mechanism. By turning the screw, the device applies gentle pressure to the palate, causing the mid-palatal suture to separate and allowing new bone to form, thereby expanding the upper jaw.

Adult orthodontic treatment can differ from that of younger patients primarily due to the lack of jaw growth in adults. This means that some jaw discrepancies may require surgical intervention. Adults are also more likely to have experienced gum or bone loss, which can affect treatment plans. Close coordination among dental specialists is often necessary to ensure comprehensive care. Additionally, adults may need to address existing dental issues, such as periodontal disease, before starting orthodontic treatmen

The duration of treatment with a palatal expander varies but typically lasts between 6 to 12 months. This period allows for the necessary expansion and stabilization of the new bone structure
