Metal braces
Adult metal braces are a classic option for straightening teeth and adjusting your bite. This type uses metal brackets attached to metal wires with colored rubber bands. You will come into the office every few weeks or months so we can reposition the wire, which moves your teeth gradually.
Clear braces
Adult clear braces use tooth-colored ceramic brackets instead of traditional metal brackets to minimize their appearance. This adult invisible braces option functions like metal braces for adults and can treat many of the same issues more discreetly.
Clear aligners
Clear aligners, like Spark™ and Invisalign®, are another adult invisible braces option, made of durable plastic and fit over your teeth. Every few weeks, you will switch to a new set of aligners that is slightly different, and your teeth will shift into place as you adjust to each new set.
Why should adults get braces?
Our Knoxville and Seymour adult braces allow you to improve your smile and your oral health while boosting your confidence.
Braces for adults can address the following:
- Tooth crowding
- Overbites, underbites and crossbites
- Gaps
- Alignment issues
- And more!
While treatment with braces for adults and adolescents is similar, some minor differences exist. Adults are at a higher risk for periodontal diseases, so we encourage careful cleaning, flossing and brushing during any treatment. Unlike children, adults have fully developed jaws, so we may apply different techniques to address jaw issues.
