There are more options than ever to get a more comfortable and long-lasting alignment. Nearly 1/4 of braces wearers are adults who want to change their alignment. Many adults who are interested in braces are afraid of how it will fit into their life. Thanks to recent innovations in orthodontic technology, braces have come a long way since the awkward, bulky appliances most people remember from their youth.
Contemporary braces options like Invisalign® and Damon System Braces® offer more freedom and are easy-to-maintain. At Black Orthodontics, we are proud to offer some of the most comfortable and forward-thinking treatment options.
Invisalign’s durable and discrete aligners have completely changed the orthodontic experience. Many people report seeing an improved smile in as little as four to six weeks. All you need to do is wear your aligners 20-22 hours every day. Invisalign aligners are made using a thin and transparent material that camouflages into your mouth. You won’t have to interrupt your life because you’ll only need to do a progress evaluation every 10-16 weeks. Plus, you can complete many appointments virtually, meaning you won’t even need to come into our Asheville office!
Damon System braces use a self-ligating bracket that holds an archwire in place rather than using elastic ties. Because the bracket is self-ligating, you don’t need tightening, resulting in less overall friction throughout treatment. A passive self-ligating system secures itself, so you’ll need less in-person visits during your alignment. Damon System Braces are excellent alternatives to surgery, palate expanders, tooth extractions, or headgear.
Investing in your smile is always a smart decision. Achieving a symmetrical alignment will refresh your outlook and boost your self-confidence. But it will also promote the longevity of your smile. Smiles with crowded teeth are more likely to develop gum disease or tooth decay. Teeth that are out of alignment put extra pressure on your head and cause chronic migraines and jaw pain.
Uniform teeth are healthy teeth. It’s easier to keep teeth clean when they conform to a natural pattern. Eliminating crowded areas helps promote more effective brushing and flossing. By aligning your teeth, you are proactively preventing long term health complications that may cost you more money than an alignment down the road.
It’s never too late to get the smile you’ve always wanted. Dr. Black is skilled at helping adults with their alignment issues. In fact, you may be surprised to learn that 30% of our current patients are adults.
Keep these things in mind as you consider tooth alignment:
Treatment time will vary depending on your specific goals
You will need to continue your regular schedule of cleanings with your general dentist or periodontist to ensure optimal dental health
In rare cases, some people may require additional intervention beyond our office
Getting a great alignment is easier and safer than ever. Dr. Black has over 30 years of experience helping people elevate their smiles with results that last a lifetime.
At Black Orthodontics, we don’t believe that the price of braces should prevent you from getting a picture-perfect smile. We want people of all ages — and all backgrounds — to experience the transformational power of braces.
That’s why we offer incentives like flexible financing with interest-free payments, in addition to filing most dental insurances. We don’t believe in hiding our costs. Your fee covers all necessary treatment plus one year of visits after your completed treatment. If you’re worried about being able to afford adult braces, give us a call, and we will find a plan that works for your budget.
