Straightening Teeth for Teenagers and Adults

Orthodontics for Children

Many children come with their parents to the clinic. The parents sit on the sidelines and the children enjoy going through the examination. The parents come with memories of past care and the children are relaxed in the chair. The irony is that at the end of the session the children are ready to go and the parents are the ones who want to stay a little longer, because it is interesting to hear about the innovations in the field of orthodontics. True, not many years ago, there was use of devices like a head-gear, with uncomfortable straps and a bulky look. Today, with the advancement of technology, the field of orthodontics has also taken a leap towards the future and the devices in use are more comfortable and integrated.
Children who are found suitable for orthodontic treatment get to wear gentle and minimal equipment. Substantial teeth alignment results can be achieved today with “cubes” that gently pull and push the teeth. There is no need to exert greater forces than this. Children today even get teeth straightened with transparent aligners using a method like Invisalign or Spark

Orthodontics for Adults

Orthodontic treatment is seen by many as a process that can be gone through once in a lifetime and preferably in adolescence. Today, with technological advancement, many adults come to the Strauss Clinic and undergo invisible teeth straightening with transparent aligners that work accurately. The Invisalign or Spark method has led many adults to straighten their teeth in a sophisticated and yet so simple-looking means. The transparent aligners that the patients wear on their teeth allow the orthodontic treatment to produce results during normal life routine. Today, the technological advancement enables us to improve our smile. Business people that converse with clients, media people and even broadcasters on the web and in the media have all realized that it is possible to straighten your teeth and still move forward in your daily life.

Orthodontics for Older People

Teeth straightening is not limited to age, and there are various reasons to straighten teeth; and even at a later age. For example, with the natural recession of the gums the grip of the tooth actually decreases. It is possible in such a case to help with orthodontic treatment. Another reason for orthodontics in old age is the prevention of inaccurate contact between teeth that can cause food impaction, drifting of teeth, and even cracks and fractures. Repositioning the teeth puts them back in place. Older adults undergo treatment with a transparent aligner or brace and sometimes also with a metal wire. Whatever choice, the results lead to healthier teeth.
