The days when orthodontic treatment was only for teenagers are gone. According to the American Association of Orthodontists, one in five orthodontic patients is now over the age of 21. Today, more adults are choosing orthodontic care to enhance their smiles and improve their oral health. At Ossa Orthodontics, we believe it’s never too late to achieve the smile you’ve always dreamed of, and we’re here to help you on that journey.
Why More Adults Are Choosing to Pursue Orthodontic Treatment
Adults are increasingly realizing the benefits of orthodontic treatment, whether for aesthetic reasons or to address underlying dental issues. Here’s why you might consider orthodontic care:
- Improved Bite Alignment: Correcting a bad bite (malocclusion) can prevent discomfort and ensure your teeth fit together properly.
- Enhanced Oral Health: Straightening crowded teeth or closing gaps reduces the risk of decay and gum disease.
- A Confidence Boost: A well-aligned, beautiful smile can significantly enhance your self-esteem and overall quality of life.
