5 Reasons To Have Orthodontic Treatment As An Adult:
1. Orthodontic technology: With the latest advancements in orthodontic technology, there are more viable treatment options than ever. Gone are the days where large, uncomfortable metal braces are the only option. Today’s treatments are designed to ensure your best smile without compromising your lifestyle.
2. Tailored treatment: At Central Coast Orthodontics we work with many adult patients looking to enhance their smile and improve the function of their mouth. We can help you find a tailored solution that meets your objectives and suits your budget.
3. Enhancing your oral health and function is an investment: Orthodontics can help restore function as well as enhance the health and appearance of your smile. A beautiful smile is also a powerful tool in both your personal and professional life, so adult orthodontic treatment can be a highly valuable investment.
4. Enjoy your best smile: Orthodontic treatment can be particularly successful for adult patients as they are typically more diligent with the care and maintenance of their orthodontic system. The better compliance, the better the outcome.
5. Choice of appliances: If you are worried about how you will look wearing an orthodontic appliance, remember that we offer a range of discreet options that can be virtually transparent and even removable.

Risks & Recovery
Braces are a common orthodontic treatment for alignment and bite correction, but they come with risks and recovery considerations.
Possible risks include:
- Gum irritation or mouth ulcers from brackets and wires
- Temporary discomfort after adjustments
- Difficulty cleaning teeth, which can increase the risk of cavities or gum inflammation
- Enamel decalcification or staining if oral hygiene is not maintained
- In some cases, root shortening may occur over time
Recovery considerations:
- Mild soreness is common for a few days after fitting or adjustments
- Patients usually adapt quickly to speaking and eating with braces
- A soft diet can help during the first few days of treatment
- Regular dental and orthodontic reviews are essential for monitoring progress
