ORTHODONTICS
FOR ALL AGES

Many people get braces as a child or teenager to straighten their permanent teeth. However, over time, the teeth can move back into their original positions, resulting in crooked teeth again. This is especially true if you do not regularly wear a retainer, which is a device that keeps your teeth in alignment after treatment. Due to these issues, many adults invest in orthodontic treatment if they have a bad bite and/or crooked teeth that get worse with age.

Adults of any age can get braces or aligners. Some adults also seek treatment to realign their teeth after the placement of dental crowns, implants, or veneers.

If you have any of the following misalignment issues, you may be a candidate for orthodontic treatment as an adult:

Types of Braces — 4 Common Treatment Options for Adults

1. Invisalign Aligners

Invisalign aligners are a relatively new and popular form of orthodontic treatment. Invisalign is the most widely-known and reputable brand. Mrs. Charalampopoulou is an expert in Invisalign. These aligners are a great option for younger and older adults because they are nearly invisible and removable.

2. Lingual Braces

Lingual braces are also metal braces. However, instead of attaching to the front of your teeth, they are placed on the back of your teeth. They are the least visible form of metal braces but can be more uncomfortable since they are closer to your tongue.

3. Ceramic Braces

Ceramic braces, which are often called "clear braces," are similar to traditional metal braces because they have the same functionality. They are also the same size and shape as metal braces.

4. Traditional Braces

Traditional metal braces are an affordable and effective treatment option. Metal braces fix severe or mild teeth crowding, most bite issues, and spaced teeth, among others.

5. Clear Aligners and various types of conventional braces - mobile mechanisms.

They are mainly used for the aesthetic arrangement of the anterior teeth and the treatment time depends on the cooperation of the patient.

Any orthodontic treatment you choose with the specialized orthodontist Dimitra Chralampopoulou the advantages are many with excellent results in a short time period. We improve the structure of your face, ensuring your dental health at the same time. More specifically a functional mouth in combination with a beautiful smile strengthen your confidence.

Do you have a child that dreads the thought of braces? Many of us who have had braces have felt dread at one point or another when getting braces or having our teeth worked on. There are so many orthodontic options available to kids today–orthodontic work is not like it used to be years ago! DC Orthodontics offers orthodontic treatment options that give your child confidence during AND after orthodontic treatment. Teens and tweens have orthodontic options for care that render their braces almost invisible, or, alternatively, give them the option to ramp up the volume on their smile with colorful bands and patterns that they can choose. Building strong, healthy smiles isn’t done in one, specific way, but an orthodontist can help lead you in the right way when it comes to your oral health.

Teens and Braces

Teens rock the braces trend, and it’s for a reason. Those under the age of 16 are in a stage where growth spurts are taking place, and the mouth and jaw is no exception to this growth. Orthodontists usually recommend braces between ages 12 and 16 to capitalize on the rapid growth your teen’s body is going through. They are able to shape the mouth much more easily during this time than any other, where the teeth can be moved and shaped to permanently stay straight. For those younger than 12 that receive braces, this is usually done to fix common problems with malocclusion such as: overbite, under bite, cross bite and open bites that need to be corrected before the teen and adult years arrive. Teeth are harder to correct as an adult when the jaw and teeth are fully developed and more permanently in place.

We understand that every teen has different orthodontic needs. Mrs. Charalampopoulou can help you decide the best orthodontic options for your child and at what age they should have braces. Some teens want or need braces when they are younger and some want braces to be as invisible as possible when they do get them. Today, there are more orthodontic options than the traditional metal braces of the past. Now, there are more ways your teens can make their time with braces more enjoyable!

Invisalign/Transparent Aligners

Invisalign is perhaps the biggest name in transparent liners. These are a type of orthodontic appliance that are similar to fitted, transparent mouth guards. Molds are made for a patient’s teeth and new aligners are used each week to slowly shape teeth until they are straight. Teens put Invisalign ahead of most orthodontic options if they don’t want others to know they have braces. The liners can also be taken out to brush and floss teeth like normal and to eat anything they want (instead of avoiding gum, popcorn, and whole apples like those with metal brackets). The only drawback is that transparent aligners struggle to fix jaw problems (such as overbite and under bite).

Lingual Braces

The lingual braces are also metal. However, instead of sticking to the front of your teeth, they attach to the back of your teeth (lingual). It is the least visible form of metal brackets. They require more time to adjust and usually take longer to complete than conventional braces or Invisalign.

Ceramic Brackets

Ceramic braces, which are often called "clear braces," are similar to traditional metal braces because they have the same functionality. They are also the same size and shape as metal braces.

Metal Brackets

Metal braces deal with any serious or mild orthodontic problem. They give movement accuracy and aesthetic detail for all patients.

Clear Aligners and various types of conventional braces - removable appliances.

A mobile machine can therefore be a suitable choice for orthodontic treatment. They are mainly used for the aesthetic arrangement of the anterior teeth and the treatment time depends on the cooperation of the patient. Therefore, these mechanisms that are deemed necessary by the doctor can be used in combination with or without braces to correct functional skeletal issues.

Benefits

An investment in orthodontic braces and appliances are an investment in your child’s overall self-confidence and oral health for life. When it’s time for your teen to get braces, we will make sure to educate you on our advanced orthodontic options so they can obtain the best-looking, most functional, most efficient smile possible. Studies have shown that children and adults alike are more confident when they love their smiles and aren’t embarrassed to show them off. They are also less prone to gum disease (and thus bone loss and decay). We offer specialized plans so your child can get the specific treatment they need. Your child deserves to have a winning smile for the rest of their lives.

The American Association of Orthodontists suggest that a child should have orthodontic evaluation at 6-7 years of age. At that age, we normally just observe your child during growth and transition of teeth, and we make sure that everything is developing normally. There are some dental or skeletal issues that need to be identified and treated early such as underbites, crossbite and crowded or severly misplaced teeth.

Braces are often required to address these genetic issues as well as those caused by accidents or dental disease. It is important to identify the signs and symptoms early even when the condition appears premature or normal.

At DC Orthodontics, we help parents understand the significant role that early orthodontic evaluation and treatment play in their children’s dental health. Our job as dental professionals is not merely to fix problems but where possible, prevent them from occurring.

The same yardstick applies to children’s orthodontics. Early detection and treatment of your child’s orthodontic problems can mean the difference between a minimally invasive procedure now and complex surgery later. From as early as 6 or 7 years of age, your child may be assessed to determine whether there is a need for braces.

What are the benefits of Early Orthodontic Intervention?

There are significant advantages to wearing braces during childhood. A growing child’s teeth and jaws are more easily shaped, as opposed to adults who have to bear a lot more pain, given their developed neuromuscular structure. Of course, the biggest benefit of undergoing orthodontic procedures in childhood is having a beautiful and healthy smile in adulthood.

The other benefits of Early Orthodontic Intervention are as follows:

• Identifies and prevents further development of poor mouth habits like thumb sucking, mouth breathing and tongue thrusting.

• Prevents developmental flaws in the child’s jaw and teeth – before they develop and grow into bad bites, or worse, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.

• Higher quality results with lower risks and chances of relapse.

We enjoy working with children and are pleased to offer a number of orthodontic options that minimize the appearance of having orthodontic treatment such as clear (ceramic) braces, lingual braces (incognito), Invisalign and orthoclear.
