Its clear to see that Adult Orthodontics in Woodland Park is an area of our profession that is growing at a rapid pace & more adults than ever are seizing the opportunity to improve not only their dental health but their looks too. Here at Inner Smiles Orthodontics we know that adults have different worries & aspirations than kids and teenagers. And guess what ? They have very specific goals they want to achieve & are keen to learn all about their options, how long treatment will last & what the results will really be like.

 

A lot of adults come to us because they never got the chance to get braces when they were younger. Some got them as teenagers but didn’t always wear their retainers like they should, which has meant their teeth have moved back over time. Some people just never had the option when they were younger. Whatever the reason , we help people achieve the smile they’ve always wanted – one that is healthy & full of confidence. Children’s orthodontics can catch and correct early signs of bite or alignment issues. We provide gentle, age-appropriate orthodontics to support your child’s healthy smile. Orthodontics for children focuses on guiding growth and creating room for permanent teeth.

Adults get orthodontic treatment for more than just having straighter teeth. A lot of people are driven by professional considerations – the fact is a confident grin can make a big difference in job prospects & workplace relationships. Some are getting ready for big life events such as weddings, reunions, or new job opportunities. Others have problems with their teeth that orthodontic treatment can fix – problems like trouble eating, jaw pain or teeth that are wearing down too quickly.

We offer a whole range of treatment options that are perfect for adults living in Woodland Park. Clear aligners are super popular & nearly invisible – meaning you can pop them in & out when you need to for business meetings, social events or sports. A lot of our adult patients love that they have the flexibility to choose when to come in for treatment. For more complicated tooth movement or biting problems , traditional metal or ceramic braces are still a great option.

When you come in for a consultation we really take the time to understand the specific concerns you have about treatment. Some people worry about looking professional while getting treatment – which is why we go over the options in detail & talk about how visible they are. Others want to know how long treatment will take. We make a detailed treatment plan & keep you up to date on how you’re doing at every stage.

When it comes to the biology of treating adults with braces, its a bit different to kids and teens. Adult bones don’t grow so it takes a bit longer for teeth to move – but the good news is that adults tend to have excellent dental hygiene & follow our instructions really well – which often leads to even better treatment outcomes. 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’ve found that adults in the mountain community really love being able to keep on with their active lifestyles while they’re getting treatment. People who love hiking, going to community events or travelling for work want orthodontic treatment that fits in with their busy lives. We work with each patient to make sure their treatment plan meets their needs.

Getting orthodontic treatment as an adult has benefits that go way beyond just having straighter teeth. Adults have become more confident in their professional presentations, more comfortable in social situations & their dental health has improved significantly. Cleaning properly aligned teeth is so much easier – which reduces the risk of gum disease & decay as you get older.

A lot of adults are really surprised at how much better orthodontic technology has gotten since they were kids. Braces are smaller and more comfortable now than ever before . Many of our adult patients also never had the chance to try treatment options like clear aligners when they were kids – but now they can. We use the latest technology & imaging tools to show adults exactly what their results will look like before they start treatment. Treatment time varies depending on how complicated the situation is but most people can expect it to take between 18 months & 3 years.
