Orthodontic Treatment for Adults in Cross Ash

Adult patients in Cross Ash increasingly choose treatment later in life. Adults have the same clinical options as teenagers, with the advantage of being motivated, compliant patients. This guide covers the discreet options, the health considerations and the typical costs.

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 Cross Ash orthodontists require a recent check confirming gum health first.
