Straight Teeth Becoming a Reality for More Adults

VANCOUVER, British Columbia - Dec. 15, 2014 - PRLog -- Setting yourself apart from the crowd is now as easy as consulting an orthodontist. According to the American Association of Orthodontists, nearly three out of four people don’t have naturally straight teeth.

What’s just as interesting is that more than 4.5 million people in the United States and Canada wear some sort of orthodontic appliance to achieve straight, healthier teeth. But did you know that 20 percent of those patients in 2014 are adults? Research shows that straight teeth not only promotes an attractive smile, but also yields health, mental and social benefits.

In terms of health, straightening one’s teeth can fix a variety of bite problems, allowing for an easier time eating and speaking. Orthodontic treatment boosts a person’s self-esteem and self-confidence, leading to the social implications. Take a minute to think of a successful person, whether it be a celebrity, CEO or someone else. There’s a high probability that they have straight teeth and beautiful smile. It’s even been proven that a good-looking smile can be a factor in the workplace.

Many adults wish they were fortunate enough to have braces as a kid. And even though the idea of an improved smile seems tempting, they don’t like the idea of having to wear braces. Orthodontic treatment has come a long way over the past several decades. Depending on your unique situation, your orthodontist will have an array of potential options.

Arguably the most popular choice amongst older patients is Invisalign (http://www.vancouverorthodontics.com/invisalign-overiew.html). These clear aligners are formed for a custom fit and geared to appropriately position your teeth and nobody else’s. Invisalign aligners are comfortable to wear and can be taken out to eat or when brushing your teeth. As long as patients wear the aligners according to their orthodontist’s requirements, the end result will be an attractive smile before you know it.

However, consider that Invisalign may not be right for everyone. If you need extensive correction and/or surgery, your orthodontist will suggest an alternative.
