Adult Orthodontic Treatment Options in Omaha: Transforming Smiles at Any Age
At Peterson Orthodontics, we believe it’s never too late to achieve the smile you’ve always wanted. Orthodontic treatment isn’t just for children and teens—today, one in five orthodontic patients is over the age of 21, according to the American Association of Orthodontists. Whether you’re seeking to improve your oral health, alleviate discomfort, or enhance your confidence, our customized treatment options are designed with adults in mind.
Why Choose Orthodontics as an Adult?
Orthodontic treatment offers a variety of benefits for adults, including improved oral health, better bite functionality, and a more confident smile. Beyond aesthetics, correcting alignment issues can enhance overall dental health, reduce the risk of tooth decay, and alleviate discomfort caused by misaligned teeth or jaws.
Orthodontic Treatment Can Address:
- Spacing Issues: Gaps between teeth that may lead to gum disease or tooth decay.
- Bite Problems (Malocclusion): Incorrect bites that can cause uneven wear on teeth and chewing difficulties.
- Jaw Discomfort: Alleviating pressure and pain caused by misaligned teeth.
- Self-Confidence: A straighter smile often leads to improved confidence and a more positive self-image.
Customized Treatment Options for Adults
Modern orthodontics offers a range of discreet and comfortable solutions tailored specifically to adults. At Peterson Orthodontics, we take pride in creating personalized treatment plans to meet your unique needs and lifestyle.
Metal Adult Braces
Traditional metal braces are a time-tested and highly effective option for addressing even the most complex alignment issues. Modern designs are smaller, more comfortable, and can be customized with clear or colorful bands.
Clear Adult Braces
For those seeking a more subtle option, clear ceramic braces blend seamlessly with your teeth. These braces provide the same reliable results as metal braces while being less noticeable.
Invisalign for Adults
Straighten your teeth without braces! Peterson Orthodontics is proud to be a provider with years of experience, offering clear aligners as a discreet and flexible treatment option for adults.
