Derek Damon Orthodontics is witnessing a surge in adult orthodontic patients, and the reasons are clear. Advanced orthodontic appliances that blend seamlessly into adult lifestyles offer discreet solutions for smile enhancement. Many adults now recognize the profound social, professional, and oral health benefits of investing in a radiant smile later in life.
Distinguishing Adult Treatment from Adolescent Care
While healthy teeth can be realigned at any age, adult orthodontic treatment differs from adolescent care in key aspects. Firstly, adults have completed jaw growth and development, limiting the scope for structural changes achievable through orthodontic appliances. Secondly, adults are more susceptible to periodontal (gum) disease, necessitating meticulous periodontal health management before and during orthodontic treatment.
At Derek Damon Orthodontics, we prioritize periodontal health alongside orthodontic correction to ensure optimal outcomes. Our personalized approach addresses individual needs and concerns, fostering a supportive environment for adult patients embarking on their smile transformation journey.
