Adolescent Treatment

Braces are a common experience for teenagers, and for good reason. Adolescence is an ideal time for orthodontic treatment, as it is a period of significant physical development. By age 11-13, most baby teeth have been lost and permanent teeth are in place, making it an optimal time to correct any issues with bite, spacing or alignment.

 

Orthodontic problems do not improve with age and become harder to treat over time. Treating these issues during adolescence can create an improved appearance and function quickly, using standard braces or appliances like palatal expanders.

 

Getting braces during adolescence also has a social element. Many classmates may also be going through orthodontic treatment, creating a shared experience and potentially leading to new friendships. In the end, the result is a beautiful smile that lasts a lifetime.

Adult Treatment

Drake Orthodontics in Sioux Falls, SD, caters to adult orthodontic patients looking for discreet treatment options. Investing in a smile makeover can have significant benefits, both socially and professionally. We understand that straightening teeth can be an important part of that confidence-boosting process.

 

At any age, healthy teeth can be moved with orthodontic treatment. However, orthodontic treatment for adults is different from children. Adult jaws have already completed growth and development, so changes in jaw structure can't be accomplished with orthodontic appliances. Additionally, gum disease is more prevalent in adults, which can weaken the long-term prognosis of teeth during orthodontic treatment. To maintain your periodontal health, regular professional cleanings and good oral hygiene at home are crucial before and during orthodontic treatment.
