You’re never too old for straighter teeth
Braces. They’re for teenagers, right? Us grown-ups just have to put up with the wonky teeth that our parents couldn’t afford to get straightened when we were kids. Right? Well, no, wrong, actually.
You can be forgiven for believing that getting braces in Windsor stops when you’re out of school because we mostly see kids and young teenagers wearing them.
However, the physiological processes that take place during straightening are possible at any age. It’s just a case of putting enough sustained pressure on your teeth to get them to move. The thing about being a kid is the process happens faster. Also, changing the shape of the jaw is only possible in people under 18 because after that the jawbone sets hard.
But teeth can be moved at any age, which means you can have braces in Windsor when you’re 7, 17, 27 or even 70.
The first step is to come into The Old Windsor Dental Practice and ask about braces in Windsor. We have a great braces dentist here called Dr Emmett Hegarty. He will be able to take a good look at your misaligned teeth and suggest the best way to get them straightened.
Braces? What braces?
Your braces in Windsor don’t necessarily have to be metal ones either. If you have mild to moderate issues, you could be treated with clear or invisible braces. We use braces from Clear Smile and Invisalign. These don’t have brackets, wires and bands but look more like mouth guards. Inside they have pressure points to press on your teeth to get them to move.
But what about those of you who have more complex alignment issues to correct and also don’t want the metal train track look? Don’t worry, we have braces from Incognito that can cope with even the most complex or severe issues. No one can see them either, because we put them on the tongue-side of your teeth so they are completely hidden away.
Retainers
Teeth need time to settle down after treatment, so you will need to wear a retainer for a while after your braces are no longer needed.
