Braces for Adults

Home » Braces » Braces for Adults

Adults of all ages enjoy a beautiful smile. If you notice crooked teeth or feel that your bite is not properly aligned, call South Belmont Orthodontics & Oral Surgery to discuss the possibility of adult braces. More than one option exists for braces for adults in Belmont, NC.

Am I Too Old for Braces?

You may associate braces with teenagers in high school, but there is no age limit for the desire to have straight teeth. Many adults may have refused braces in their adolescence or didn’t have access to treatment earlier in their lives. However, it’s never too late to consider orthodontic treatment.

Continuing to put off the need for braces may result in further issues arising down the road. Our orthodontists will guide you in choosing the best treatment for your unique needs.

Types of Braces Available for Adults

Improvements in the world of orthodontic technology offer new techniques for tooth alignment. While traditional metal braces continue to be the most popular, other types of braces work just as effectively. Consider personal preferences like the appearance of your smile during treatment and how well you will be able to care for your braces.

Metal Braces

Metal braces are the original form of braces. They use an archwire that runs through the metal brackets placed on each tooth to straighten your smile. The sturdy metal may not be the most aesthetically discreet, but it provides the best results for all cases. Unlike other forms of braces, only traditional braces can assist in extreme cases, including large gaps and jaw and bite misalignments.

Ceramic Braces

We also offer clear braces for adults in Belmont, NC. Clear braces use ceramic brackets rather than metal ones, which blend in closely with the natural shade of teeth. While they are not completely invisible, they are more discreet and offer the same strength and effectiveness as traditional braces.

How Do I Care for My Braces?

Tooth decay and gum disease don’t disappear with braces. If you have these issues, you want to have them corrected before discussing braces with your orthodontist. Untreated decay and disease masked by brackets may result in failing health later.

While undergoing braces treatment, it’s important to dedicate a bit more time to your oral hygiene. When you brush and floss your teeth, use gentle force for an effective clean and work your way between brackets, wires, and teeth. If you have to have a tooth removed or repaired, your braces will need extra treatment time to straighten out your smile.

If you missed out on braces in your younger years, it’s not too late to upgrade your smile. With so many options available, you can easily find the right type of braces to suit your needs.

I had a wonderful experience here with my child. The staff was very attentive and kind, especially Dr. Hoffman and the office manager Stephanie Cain, her professionalism and kindness are unmatched.

Amanda C.
I don't usually leave reviews but after speaking with "Stephanie" (The Office Manager) at Belmont Orthod. & O.S. I felt that it was only right to take a moment of my time to show some recognition and appreciation for her. Stephanie was super patient and very kind, while genuinely listening to my complex situation. Reguarding a horrible past experience with another practice. She took care of the transfer and made the appointment for my free consultation. She was up front and honest about possible precautions which depends how the roots of my teeth look on the xrays. Since I have unfortunately been left wearing braces far too long without treatment due to the other practice and their ILLEGAL "Policy". Belmont Ortho. & O.S just wants to ensure that my roots are strong and healthy before making the decision to continue treatment right now. Or if it would be best to let my teeth rest a while first?! It was very reassuring that Belmont focuses more on each individual and the actual health of their patients teeth. They are definitely not one to be pushy or careless just to get another payment coming in like most places these days. I am so glad that I stumbled upon their ad. and I am very excited for my consultation next week. Fingers crossed that my treatment can be safely continued. I will also update this review after my visit! 🤞🏼🫶🏼
Thank you Stephanie!
(Details from my nightmare experience with Murdock Orthodontics will be posted soon. If anyone was wondering?)
