At La Costa Dental Excellence, we want people in their golden years who want to enhance their smile to learn about doing so by simply straightening their teeth!
There are many benefits to retirement. Waking up whenever you dang well please. Time to devote to your favorite hobbies or humanitarian causes. Traveling. Grandchildren.
Braces Aren’t Just For Teens
It’s not all a picnic, however. Many older people have health dilemmas, limited mobility, and financial concerns. Though some issues can’t be avoided, others can. Crooked teeth, for instance.
Could Your Smile Benefit From Adult Braces?
Orthodontics can correct all types of tooth alignment issues. Overbite? Gap between your two front teeth? Crowded teeth?
With modern orthodontics at La Costa Dental Excellence, older men and women can have an outstanding smile that looks as young as they feel.
Let’s discuss some orthodontic options.
Self-ligating Braces
Traditional braces have brackets and an archwire. The brackets are mounted to the teeth and the archwire is attached to the brackets. With self-ligating braces, the archwire is connected to the brackets with a spring clip. This replaces the plastic color band necessary with standard metal braces.
Invisalign
Invisalign uses clear aligners instead of metal or ceramic brackets. With Invisalign aligners, you switch aligners every couple of weeks as your teeth gently shift into place.
How can straightening crooked teeth benefit you in your golden years?
We all know that a pleasing smile improves one’s appearance. Everyone wants to look more attractive. However, the benefits aren’t purely aesthetic.
- You are less likely to snore if your teeth are aligned appropriately
- They feel good when you rub your tongue over them!
- You are less likely to experience periodontitis (advanced gum disease)
- Straight teeth can prohibit decay
- You are less likely to feel tooth pain due to displacement or misalignment
Braces + Tooth Implants for a Complete Smile Makeover
Regardless of your age, it is not too late to improve your smile–even if you have some missing teeth. Braces combined with tooth implants can transform a smile.
