Orthodontic Treatment Options for Adults
With the advancement in the field of orthodontics, there are numerous adult orthodontic options from which you and your orthodontist can choose. However, the following are the most common and effective solutions:-.
Invisalign®
When it comes to adult orthodontics, Invisalign aligners are the most popular choice for obvious reasons. Invisalign for adults is super convenient as you don’t have many food restrictions. This is because you can remove them when you eat. But you should not forget to wear them again. Moreover,Invisalign is a set of clear aligners which are not visible to others. So your orthodontic treatment can be done discreetly.
Metal Braces
It is one of the most conventional types of braces for adults and kids as well. Metal braces are tied with the help of a wire to your teeth. The wire is periodically adjusted according to the movement of your teeth in the correct position. Metal braces are ideal for adults as they restore the misaligned teeth within a short span of time. You might initially feel uneasy with metal braces, but the discomfort mostly disappears in a few days.
Clear Braces / Ceramic Braces
Orthodontists prefer clear braces for adults as these braces are non-visible to others. This is because they are made of porcelain or ceramic, which is similar to the color of your teeth. They are also known as Invisible braces or ceramic braces. Clear braces are tied to your teeth with wires like traditional metal braces, but they are much discreet. They can pretty much treat every misalignment of teeth that metal braces can treat.

Staff is amazing!!! The entire staff is super friendly! We have seen Dr. Patel both times and he is great with kids, explains and shows everything. They are very accommodating and work with you to give you the best experience. The staff jokes around with the kids and makes them feel at ease... they take their time to answer questions that your child might have. It’s a great office, music playing , relaxing and clean! The welcome package your child receives when they get braces on is super nice!

I rated them a 5/5, but would give them more stars if possible! We chose Rome Orthodontics after we went for our complimentary consult and were greeted warmly and professionally. During the initial consult every detail of the process was explained to us fully and they even offered numerous payment plans that worked for us to put braces on two teenagers. The staff are always friendly, the environment is meticulously kept, appointments are simple to make, and most importantly the dentists and assistants make the experience relaxing and fun for our children. We are so glad that we are part of the Rome Orthodontics family. You will not be disappointed in their service!

I have been going here for only 7 months and I love it. The people there are amazing, helpful and so friendly it makes me feel very comfortable there. They always explain everything they’re doing to me and check in on me while they’re working on my mouth. The inside is very clean and a great environment, you can tell they really care about you. My teeth look amazing and I can’t wait to see what else they are able to do for me.

Rome Orthodontics is the BEST place to receive braces. Their staff is always friendly and knowledgeable. The open floor plan of the building makes it comfortable with all the patients being able to see and hear each other and knowing that not one patient is in pain. This was very important as my daughter has an extreme fear of everything dental. Her expirences with Rome Orthodontics has allowed her to relax enough that she no longer requires laughing gas at the dentist. THANKS ROME ORTHODONTICS!!

First off, never would have expected same-day service. Wonderful, helpful staff. Everyone very pleasant and friendly. Elizabeth explained all payment options and easily factored in our dental insurance. She also was eager to hear about my daughter's activities and to share that they are happy to support local community groups.

Benefits of Adult Orthodontic Treatment
Braces are one of the most recommended orthodontic treatments for adults. Some of the prominent benefits of braces are mentioned here!
- Corrects Your BiteMalocclusion or bite issue is a common dental problem across the U.S.A. and the world.Adult braces help in treating all kinds of incorrect bites, including overbite, underbite, crossbite, etc. Orthodontic treatment for adults is more complicated. The reason being there is not enough room in the mouth for moving the teeth. However, an orthodontist can manage to make your bite functional, if not perfect, with the help of adult braces.
- They Reduce Oral Health ProblemsMisaligned and crooked teeth are not merely an inconvenience. They can develop into severe dental issues such as gum disease, chipped teeth, thinning of the jawbone, tooth decay, etc. many of these concerns arise due to uneven pressure of teeth on your jaw. This uneven pressure can also lead to chronic pain in TMJ. It is imperative to address these issues with the help of braces.
- They Boost Self-Confidence – Makes You Look Good and Feel ConfidentIt’s natural to aspire for a confident smile and presentable appearance. But sometimes, the misalignment of your teeth comes in your way. You might feel shy in social situations and refrain from getting a smiling picture. Braces provide an opportunity for teeth straightening for adults. It brings back your self-confidence and takes away your social anxiety due to your appearance.
- They Are More AffordableThe modern orthodontic techniques allow you to choose from many options of adult braces. That means if one type of braces is out of your budget, you can always get an alternative. The majority of orthodontic centers offer flexible payment schemes to help their patients with adult braces cost.
