Getting Your Gums Ready for Treatment
A gum assessment up front matters more for adults, who often have some periodontal history. Active disease must be settled before treatment — moving teeth through compromised bone can do harm — and a recent healthy-gum check is standard practice across Greenwall.
Given stable gums, orthodontics proceeds normally; the ongoing requirement is diligent cleaning throughout, whether working around brackets or brushing before every tray reinsertion.
Treatment Options for Adults in Greenwall
Clear aligners are the default request from adults in Greenwall who want treatment nobody notices. Removable and discreet, they reward consistent wear and suit mild-to-moderate cases.
Ceramic braces use tooth-coloured brackets that blend in while giving the continuous control of fixed treatment — a strong option for adults with moderate to complex cases who aren't ideal aligner candidates.
Lingual braces are hidden entirely behind the teeth, ideal for adults who can't have any visible appliance; expect a premium price and a couple of weeks adapting your speech.
Metal fixed braces are the budget workhorse for demanding adult cases; since the NHS rarely funds adults, they're the cheapest fixed route privately in Greenwall.
