Adult Treatment

Adult Treatment

As we grow older, our orthodontic needs can evolve. Many adults may face issues like misaligned teeth or bite problems that were not addressed in earlier years. With the demands of work, family, and life’s challenges, orthodontic care can sometimes be overlooked. However, it’s never too late to improve your smile and oral health.

The experienced team at Derby Orthodontics in Derby, KS, proudly offers specialized adult orthodontic treatments. Whether you need Invisalign or traditional braces, we are committed to providing top-quality care to help you achieve the healthy, confident smile you deserve.

Why Is Regular Orthodontic Care Important for Adults?

As an adult, maintaining proper orthodontic care is crucial for your long-term oral health. While your teeth may be fully developed, alignment issues or bite problems can still arise, impacting your overall well-being. Addressing these concerns early can help prevent future complications and ensure your teeth remain healthy and functional for years to come.

While there are various solutions for missing or misaligned teeth, it’s always best to keep your natural teeth healthy and properly aligned. Here are some key reasons why adult orthodontic care is so important:

• Preventing Orthodontic Issues: Regular checkups allow our orthodontists to identify and correct misalignments, bite problems, and other concerns that can lead to more serious orthodontic issues if left untreated.
• Maintaining a Healthy Smile: Orthodontic treatment helps ensure your teeth stay properly aligned, preventing unnecessary wear and promoting better oral hygiene, which can protect against tooth decay and gum disease.
• Improving Functionality: Correcting alignment and bite issues improves your ability to chew and speak clearly, enhancing your overall quality of life.
• Boosting Confidence: A straight, healthy smile contributes to self-confidence. Orthodontic care helps you maintain a smile you’ll be proud to show off.
• Preventing Future Complications: Addressing bite and alignment issues early can prevent more invasive treatments down the road, saving you both time and money.

What Adult Orthodontic Services Can I Look Forward To?

At Derby Orthodontics, we understand the importance of maintaining a healthy and properly aligned smile. Our range of adult orthodontic services is designed to help you achieve optimal oral health and a confident smile. Here’s what you can expect from our clinic in Derby, KS:

Comprehensive Orthodontic Evaluations

During your initial consultation, our orthodontists will thoroughly examine your teeth, bite, and jaw alignment to identify any concerns. We take the time to understand your smile goals and will recommend a treatment plan specifically tailored to your needs, ensuring the best possible outcome for your orthodontic care.

Invisalign Clear Aligners

Invisalign offers a discreet and comfortable way to straighten your teeth with nearly invisible aligners. These custom-made aligners fit seamlessly into your lifestyle, allowing you to achieve a beautifully aligned smile without the need for traditional braces.

Traditional Braces

For adults with more complex orthodontic issues, traditional braces remain an effective solution. Our orthodontists will carefully monitor your progress throughout the treatment to ensure your teeth move into their optimal position as efficiently and comfortably as possible.

Cosmetic Orthodontics

In addition to improving function, we offer cosmetic orthodontic solutions such as Invisalign and tooth-colored braces for adults who want to enhance the aesthetics of their smile. These treatments not only straighten your teeth but also provide a boost to your self-confidence.

Orthodontic Retainers

After completing your orthodontic treatment, retainers are essential for maintaining your newly aligned smile. We offer a variety of retainer options, including removable and fixed types, to ensure your teeth stay in place and your smile remains perfect for years to come.

Digital X-rays

Our advanced digital X-rays provide detailed, high-resolution images of your teeth and jawbone, enabling precise treatment planning. This technology not only enhances the accuracy of our care but also ensures that we catch any potential issues early in the process.

Orthognathic Surgery Coordination

For adults with severe jaw alignment issues, we offer coordination with skilled oral surgeons for orthognathic surgery. This surgery corrects jaw discrepancies and improves both the appearance and function of your teeth and bite, leading to long-term improvements in oral health.

At Derby Orthodontics, we are dedicated to creating a comfortable and relaxing environment for all our patients.
