Orthodontics For Adults Colorado Springs
Adult Orthodontics is one of the areas of our business that’s growing like crazy in Colorado Springs, and more adults than ever before are deciding to put money into looking after their smiles. We know that adults have entirely different worries and priorities at Inner Smiles Orthodontics than kids and teens. Adults generally have very clear goals in mind when they decide to get some orthodontic work done, and they want all the lowdown on what’s involved and what to expect.
Loads of adults come to us because they didn’t get braces when they were younger. A lot of people did get braces as kids but then didn’t wear their retainers afterwards, which sadly meant their teeth started to move again over time. Some people just couldn’t get orthodontic treatment when they were kids for one reason or another. Whatever the reason is, we’re here to help adults get the healthy, great-looking smiles they’ve always wanted.
For adults, orthodontic work isn’t just about having straighter teeth. Loads of people do it because their careers depend on it – they know that a confident smile can really help them get ahead in the workplace, and get on better with their colleagues. Some people are gearing up for big events in their lives, like weddings or family reunions. Others have problems with their teeth that orthodontic treatment can sort out – things like trouble eating, jaw aches or wearing down their teeth too fast.
We have a number of different treatment options that work particularly well for adults. Clear aligners are super popular now because they’re almost impossible to spot and can be taken out for important meetings or social events. Loads of our adult patients love how flexible the treatment is – they can choose when and how to fit it in around their lives. For situations where you need more precise tooth movement or have some pretty complicated bite issues, traditional braces made of metal or ceramic are still top-notch solutions. Orthodontics for adults offers discreet and flexible ways to improve your smile at any age. We provide adult orthodontics options like clear aligners and ceramic braces. With adult orthodontics, you can address crowding, spacing, or bite concerns comfortably.
We take the time to really listen to what’s worrying adult patients about treatment. Some people are really concerned about how they’re going to look at work while they’re getting treatment, so we make sure to go over all the different options and how visible they are. Some people are worried about how long the whole process is going to take and want to know exactly how long it’ll be. We create a detailed treatment plan and keep our adult patients up to date on how they’re doing at every stage of the process.
When it comes to the biological side of things, treating adults is definitely different from treating kids and teens. Because adult bones aren’t still growing, it takes longer for teeth to move into place and you really do need to be patient. But most of the time, adult patients have great oral hygiene habits and follow our advice really well, which can actually lead to even better treatment results in a lot of cases. Our orthodontics services include both traditional metal braces and clear ceramic options. Braces remain one of the most effective orthodontics tools for correcting alignment. We’ll help you choose the right braces to meet your orthodontics goals and lifestyle.
We’ve found that adult patients in Colorado Springs are especially keen on staying active while they’re getting treatment. They want orthodontic treatment that fits in around their busy lives, whether they’re out hiking, at a business networking event or just socializing with mates. We make sure each patient’s treatment plan fits in seamlessly with their lifestyle needs.
Getting braces as an adult can do loads more than just sort out your teeth. We’ve seen people become way more confident in their work presentations, feel more at ease in social situations and have way better oral health. As people get older, their teeth and gums are less likely to get cavities and gum disease if their teeth are properly aligned.
A lot of adults are genuinely surprised by how much orthodontic tech has changed since they were kids. Braces are so much smaller and more comfy now than they used to be, and clear aligners and other treatment options just weren’t around when many of our adult patients were teens. We make use of top-of-the-line imaging and treatment planning tools to show adults exactly what their results will look like before they even start treatment.
The length of treatment for adults varies from case to case, but most of our adult patients can expect treatment to last anywhere between 18 months and 3 years. We know people want to know when things are going to happen, so we keep our patients in the loop at all times about their progress and any changes to their treatment plan.
We’re really proud to be able to help adults in Colorado Springs reach their smile goals – whether that’s a working professional, a parent or a retiree.
