Orthodontics for adults to align shifted teeth

Shifted or uneven teeth, surprising as the phenomenon may sound, is nothing new and is a common occurrence in individuals of adult age. The reason for this can be attributed to the fact that teeth are consistently exposed to forces within the oral cavity (from biting or chewing or misaligned jaw joints) and they shift in reaction to these.  Rectifying this is absolutely essential not only for aesthetic or cosmetic reasons but also to improve function and longevity of the teeth.  Straightening uneven teeth can help in balancing your bite resulting in an even chewing pattern.

Orthodontics for adults is quite popular nowadays and the number of adults choosing orthodontics as a corrective measure is increasing. Correcting crooked, shifted or crowded teeth tend to put unnecessary strain on the teeth, the jaws and the jaw muscles which could result in TMJ disorder, periodontal disease and fractured teeth among other problems. Addressing these issues can become costly over time; therefore orthodontics is often the least expensive and invasive approach.

Dr Cameron Torabi has extensive training orthodontics. Using computer analysis and 3D models, he can make your teeth not only more attractive and functional but also align the jaw and correct the ‘bite’.

The advanced field of orthodontics today uses improved techniques and employs state-of-the-art appliances and tools to ensure better and faster results.

So contrary to what many may think, braces are not for teenagers only. If the gum is “healthy” then braces can readily be used at any age.

New-age orthodontic braces for adults are minimally invasive and more adults are wearing them for aligning teeth these days. Thanks to adult braces, realigning shifted teeth or improving dental health is no longer an expensive affair. Ceramic or white braces are also available for improved appearance.   The initial uncomfortable feeling gets snubbed down within a few days and successful results come out even before you know it.
