Am I Too Old for Braces?

Once your smile has fully developed, you might assume that it’s too late to get braces. Fortunately, our innovative orthodontic treatment makes getting adult braces in Siler City more convenient and effective than ever before. It’s never too late to get a straighter, healthier, and more aesthetically appealing smile with adult braces tailored to you.

As an adult, you have plenty of reasons to choose braces. Other than improving the appearance of your smile, orthodontic care can address several oral health issues. Here are some common signs that you might benefit from orthodontic treatment:

Difficulty chewing food
Breathing problems
Missing teeth
Crowded teeth
Disproportionate teeth and jaws compared to the rest of your face
Jaws that shift, make sounds, protrude, or are recessed

Our orthodontic treatments make it easier to brush and floss your teeth, resulting in better oral health all around.

Orthodontic Treatments for Adults

adult man with invisalign clear braces Many people get braces as children or teenagers to straighten their permanent teeth. But over time, your teeth can shift back into their original positions and result in crooked teeth again. This often happens if you don’t regularly wear a retainer to keep your teeth aligned after orthodontic treatment.

Because of these issues, you might need to invest in another round of orthodontic treatment as an adult to correct a bad bite or crooked teeth. On the other hand, you may be undergoing orthodontic treatment for the first time to enhance your smile and boost self-confidence. Regardless of your motivation, we offer quality aligners and braces for Siler City adults and people of all ages.

Dr. Johnson may recommend orthodontic treatments to realign teeth as needed before or after the placement of dental implants, crowns, or veneers. She begins by carrying out a comprehensive exam to determine your health and goals. We offer a variety of treatment options, including:

Conventional Braces: This appliance is made of metal and is the most effective if you have a severe misalignment. To guide your teeth into proper position, our dentist bonds metal brackets to each tooth with a sturdy wire connecting them to provide the necessary tension.

Clear Ceramic Braces: Clear ceramic braces are more discreet than traditional ones as they use tooth-colored brackets and bands to straighten teeth.

Invisalign®: Dr. Johnson is a certified Invisalign provider. This treatment uses a series of clear plastic trays that comfortably fit your smile. Each clear aligner uses pinpointed pressure to guide your teeth into the correct position gradually. We often recommend Invisalign aligners for mild to moderate alignment concerns.

Retainers: A retainer is usually the final step in your orthodontic treatment journey. While adult braces are generally effective, your teeth are at some risk of moving back to their original position. After your braces have come off, Dr. Johnson will provide you with a customized retainer. Wearing it for the recommended period is essential for maintaining your straightened smile and preventing relapse.

Orthognathic Surgery Management: Dr. Johnson works with a trusted surgeon to accomplish complex treatments that can’t be solved with orthodontics alone. If the upper and lower jaws are significantly out of position, surgery can align them so that your braces will provide successful results. Typically, orthognathic surgery takes place in the middle of orthodontic treatment to improve your ability to speak, bite, and chew.

Testimonials

Dr Johnson put braces on me a little over a year ago and I honestly can't say anything but good stuff about her and her staff. She's a straight shooter that shoots from the hip and tells you like it is and let's you know upfront what the process will be like and what she'll try her best to accomplish but she will tell you that she's not a magician either. For me that sealed the deal and won my business and friendship then and there. She doesn't over promise and under deliver, instead she's realistic about things and tells you she'll do her best which is all anyone can do or expect someone to do. I am extremely pleased with her best thus far and I still have a little bit left before they come off. She's made my entire process as convenient and painless as possible and I've yet to have anything break, come loose, or poke me. In fact the worst part was figuring out how to eat the first few days of having them on and not being able to bite my nails after 39 years of doing so. Dr Johnson is first class all the way around and does top notch work! I highly recommend her to anyone of any age that is needing braces. She had her work cut out for her with me when she did her initial consultation and 14 months after putting them on she's already over delivered from what I was expecting and she's not finished yet! I have no doubts whatsoever that I chose the perfect orthodontist for me everytime I look in the mirror and smile, or someone else compliments her work when I have my regular cleaning and check ups with my dentist. Siler City is a better place because of her and her services being there for those who need them!

I made an appointment with Chatham Orthodontist for my 6 yr old who has an underbite and grinds her teeth. The receptionist was very friendly when I called to inquire about treatment. She explained to me how my insurance would work and what my option would be. When I arrived she was very friendly and ready for us. Dr. Johnson was great, also really friendly and very thorough. She explained what she thought best and why ans gave me a plan of action. When I mentioned my concern for my other child, she made time to fit him in for an initial consult as well. Again with him she was very thorough. The office experience was friendly and welcoming without being pushy. I left feeling very good about the care of my children’s teeth. I would definitely recommend this office!
