Straighten Your Smile at Any Age
Many adults believe orthodontic treatment is only for teenagers, but that is not true. At Ararat Dental, we provide advanced adult orthodontic treatments designed specifically for busy professionals and adults who want a healthier, more confident smile.
Whether your teeth shifted over time, you never had braces as a child, or you want to improve your smile’s appearance, our orthodontic solutions can help you achieve excellent results with modern, comfortable techniques.
Our team understands the concerns adults often have about orthodontics – appearance, treatment length, and comfort – and we offer discreet and effective options to fit your lifestyle.
Why Adults Choose Orthodontic Treatment
Orthodontics is not only about aesthetics. Properly aligned teeth improve both oral health and daily comfort.
Adults seek orthodontic treatment for several reasons:
• Crowded or overlapping teeth
• Gaps between teeth
• Bite problems (overbite, underbite, crossbite)
• Jaw discomfort or uneven pressure while chewing
• Teeth that shifted after previous orthodontic treatment
• Improving smile confidence for personal or professional reasons
Correcting these issues can also make brushing and flossing easier, reducing the risk of gum disease, cavities, and excessive tooth wear.
Adult Orthodontic Treatment Options
At Ararat Dental, we provide personalized orthodontic care based on your goals, lifestyle, and dental condition.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are nearly invisible and removable, making them a popular choice for adults who prefer a discreet orthodontic solution. They gradually move teeth into position while allowing you to eat and clean your teeth normally.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces function like traditional braces but use tooth-colored brackets that blend with your natural teeth, making them less noticeable.
Traditional Braces
Modern metal braces are smaller, more comfortable, and highly effective for correcting complex alignment issues.
Retreatment Orthodontics
Some adults had braces earlier in life but experienced shifting over time. Retreatment can restore proper alignment and bite balance.
Benefits of Adult Orthodontics
Choosing orthodontic treatment as an adult offers several long-term benefits:
✓ Improved smile appearance
✓ Better bite alignment
✓ Easier oral hygiene
✓ Reduced risk of gum disease
✓ Improved speech in some cases
✓ Prevention of uneven tooth wear
✓ Increased self-confidence
Orthodontic care can be a long-term investment in both health and quality of life.
