Adult Orthodontics in Chapelhall

Adult patients in Chapelhall increasingly choose treatment later in life. 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. People from Calderbank, Petersburn and Brownsburn regularly visit orthodontists in Chapelhall.

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 Chapelhall orthodontists require a recent check confirming gum health first.

Stage 1 — Initial Assessment

This stage decides whether aligners are appropriate and how complex the case is.
