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
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
Getting braces as an adult can lead to a variety of benefits beyond just straightening teeth. As adults age, their jawbones can lose density, leading to shifting teeth, crowding, and discomfort during chewing or swallowing. Braces can address these issues, improving both the aesthetic appearance of a smile and overall oral health. They can help prevent tooth decay by making teeth easier to clean and can alleviate oral discomfort. Additionally, having straight teeth is often associated with success and attractiveness, which can boost confidence in professional and social settings
