Adult Orthodontics in Barrack

Adult orthodontics in Barrack has grown dramatically over the past decade. Clear aligners, ceramic and lingual systems let most adults treat their teeth without anyone noticing. A photo assessment is an easy way to see which adult option suits your case.

Gum Health Before Adult Orthodontic Treatment

Adults are more likely than teenagers to carry some history of gum disease or recession, so a gum-health assessment — and treatment of any active disease — comes before orthodontics. Moving teeth through unhealthy bone can worsen problems and cause bone loss, which is why most Barrack orthodontists require a recent check confirming gum health first.
