3 Reasons More Adults Are Getting Braces
2

• If you had braces when you were a teenager, you
  probably remember the nagging inability to bite
  into a whole apple and the awkwardly cold metal
  surrounding your teeth among other unfriendly
  memories. What you probably dont remember,
  however, are the countless health benefits that
  braces provide.

3

• Braces are more than just cosmetic dentistry
  they also offer a number of health benefits that
  promote immune system health. Whether youve
  never had braces before, or need them again due
  to dental health issues like persistently
  shifting teeth, getting adult braces can actually
  be a pleasant experience.

4

• In fact, according to studies conducted by a
  variety of dental and orthodontic establishments,
  roughly 25 of todays orthodontic patients are
  adults.

5

• If youre an adult considering braces, but arent
  sure theyre the right choice for you, here are
  three reasons adults like you have already spoken
  to their orthodontist or dentist about braces,
  and how theyve benefited from it.

Maintain Healthy, Straight Teeth

• Over time, teeth shift according to the way the
  jaw bites down and where the tongue rests between
  meals. Today, one of the leading reasons adults
  choose to get braces later in life is to
  straighten out crooked teeth and maintain a
  healthier mouth.

8

• Crooked or overlapping teeth can actually allow
  plaque to build up excessively, which can
  eventually lead to tooth decay, cavities, and (in
  severe cases of shifting teeth) cause the gums to
  move away from the teeth themselves.

9

• By opting in to adult braces, many individuals
  find that they are not only getting straighter
  teeth, theyre also fighting potential gum
  diseases like periodontal disease.

Dental Health Affects the Rest of your Body
Immune System

• Did you know that your dental health plays a
  large factor in your bodys immune system and
  resistance to bacteria? Because most of the
  toxins we process enter our body through our
  mouths, our oral health is the first stage of
  resistance against germs.

12

• But how do adult braces tie in to overall dental
  and immune health? As we mentioned above,
  straight teeth prevent plaque buildup and other
  advanced dental issues. In addition, individuals
  who have crooked teeth, or a severe cross bite,
  may suffer from more persistent head and ear
  aches as a result of the misalignment.

Braces Have Evolved

• While wearing braces may have been truly horrible
  back in high school, the incredible advancements
  in braces technology (not to mention the
  materials used to create them), will change the
  way you feel about adult braces entirely.

15

• Although the standard metal, front-facing braces
  are still being used today, many adults choose to
  go with short term adult orthodontic options,
  such as 6 Month Smiles and Clear Correct.

16

• In most cases, orthodontic treatments have also
  become more affordable than they were in the
  past it is worth noting, however, that the
  discrete alignment options like those mentioned
  above tend to be a bit more expensive than
  standard braces.

17

• Many people are choosing to get adult braces to
  promote their oral health, improve a rewarding
  quality of life, and honor their smile in
  general. If youre considering getting braces as
  an adult, and are interested in looking at
