SE Calgary Adult Braces

Your Trusted Choice for Adult Braces in SE Calgary

Orthodontic treatment is not limited to childhood or adolescence. At White Oak Dental, adult braces are offered for patients who did not receive orthodontic care earlier in life or who have experienced changes in tooth alignment or bite over time.

Adult orthodontic treatment may be considered for patients whose teeth have shifted, whose bite has changed, or who are experiencing concerns related to alignment and function.

Why Adults Seek Orthodontic Treatment

Adults may pursue orthodontic care for a variety of reasons. In some cases, orthodontic treatment was recommended earlier in life but not completed. In other cases, previous orthodontic treatment was completed and alignment has changed over time.

Adult braces may be recommended to help address:

• Crowding or spacing concerns
• Changes in bite alignment
• Tooth movement that has occurred over time
• Functional concerns related to alignment

Treatment planning considers current oral health, alignment needs, and long-term care goals.

How Adult Braces Work

Braces use controlled pressure to gradually guide teeth into improved alignment. Treatment may involve braces, orthodontic appliances, or other orthodontic approaches depending on individual assessment.

Orthodontic treatment for adults focuses on both alignment and function, with careful consideration of bite balance and overall oral health.

Orthodontic Options for Adults

White Oak Dental offers orthodontic options for adult patients, which may include:

• Traditional braces
• Discreet orthodontic solutions, such as Invisalign®

The most suitable option is determined through clinical evaluation and discussion, taking into account comfort, lifestyle, and treatment goals.
