Adult Braces & Aligners in Cromer

It is never too late to straighten your teeth. Clear aligners, ceramic and lingual systems let most adults treat their teeth without anyone noticing. The main difference for adults is a pre-treatment gum assessment and, sometimes, a slightly longer timeline.

Getting Your Gums Ready for 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 Cromer orthodontists require a recent check confirming gum health first.
