Orthodontics for Adults

Orthodontics for adults is a specialized field that caters to the unique needs and desires of individuals seeking to enhance their smiles beyond adolescence.

At Williams & Hamman Orthodontics, we recognize that a confident smile knows no age limits. Whether addressing aesthetic concerns, functional improvements, or long-standing oral health issues, our adult orthodontic treatments are tailored to each individual's unique journey. With discreet options like clear braces and invisible aligners, we empower adults to embark on a transformative orthodontic experience that improves their oral health and boosts self-confidence, influencing various aspects of their personal and professional lives.

Types of Orthodontic Treatments for Adults

Traditional Metal Braces

Traditional metal braces remain a reliable option for adults seeking effective orthodontic correction. They consist of metal brackets and wires gradually adjusted to align the teeth. Modern designs make them more comfortable and less conspicuous than in the past.

Clear Braces

Clear braces, or ceramic braces, are similar to traditional metal braces but use clear or tooth-colored brackets and wires. This option offers a more discreet appearance while maintaining the structural benefits of traditional braces.

Lingual Braces

Lingual braces are similar to traditional braces but are placed on the inner surface of the teeth, making them virtually invisible from the outside. This option is ideal for those who prefer a discreet treatment without the visibility of braces.

Clear Aligners

Clear aligners have gained popularity among adults seeking a virtually invisible orthodontic solution. These custom-made, clear plastic aligners by our orthodontist in Southaven, MS, gradually shift teeth into place. They are removable, allowing for greater flexibility in daily activities like eating and oral hygiene.

Retainers

While not a traditional orthodontic treatment, retainers play a crucial role in maintaining the results achieved through other therapies. Retainers help prevent teeth from shifting back to their original positions, ensuring a long-lasting and stable smile.

The Benefits of Orthodontic Treatment for Adults

  • One of the primary benefits is the aesthetic improvement of the smile. Orthodontic treatments correct misalignments, gaps, and other issues, creating a more visually appealing and confident smile.
  • Orthodontic treatment improves oral health by addressing overcrowding, misalignments, and bite irregularities. Straighter teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities, gum disease, and other dental problems.
  • Orthodontic treatment can prevent potential dental problems from developing into more significant issues. Early intervention, in particular, can guide proper dental development and address concerns before they escalate.
  • Correcting bite issues and misalignments can lead to improved chewing efficiency, reduced teeth wear, and enhanced oral function. This not only contributes to oral health but also to general well-being.

Orthodontics for adults focuses on providing comprehensive approaches beyond aesthetics, promoting oral health, function, and overall well-being.
