A significant proportion of orthodontic patients in Pedham are adults. Discreet options and monthly payment plans have made adult treatment far more accessible. A photo assessment is an easy way to see which adult option suits your case.
Treatment Options for Adults in Pedham
Clear aligners are the default request from adults in Pedham 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 remain the most cost-effective private option for complex adult cases needing precise control. With adult NHS access very limited, private metal braces are the affordable fixed choice for most adults in Pedham.

Getting Your Gums Ready for Treatment
Because gum disease and recession are commoner in adults, a periodontal check is the necessary first step. Straightening teeth through inflamed or receding tissue risks accelerating bone loss, so Pedham orthodontists will want evidence your gums are healthy before starting.
With healthy gums established, even patients with past periodontal problems do well — provided hygiene stays meticulous, since fixed braces trap plaque and aligners seal it against the teeth if you don't brush first.
