Options For Adult Orthodontic Care in Prosper, TX

If you think you’re alone in daydreaming about the benefits of orthodontic care, think again! One-in-four patients are actually adults who have decided to commit to their smiles, and you can be next. Orthodontic treatment is not just about improved appearance, although that is a major benefit! Correcting dental problems through braces can also improve your bite and your oral health. Shifting teeth to their correct positioning can improve sleep, chewing, breathing, speaking, and more. Adults considering treatment may be apprehensive about inviting discomfort into their lives, or maybe they are concerned about looking silly. However, there are more options than ever to suit every lifestyle and preference when it comes to what your braces journey looks like. Traditional metal braces are always an effective and popular option, but many adults opt for one of our alternative methods:

Ceramic Braces

Ceramic braces offer many of the same benefits as metal braces but are more discreet. Crafted out of a clear material, they blend in better with the surrounding teeth offering a cosmetic appeal.

Clear Braces

Prosper Trail Orthodontics is one of the few practices in the area to offer a newer technology called Damon™ Braces. These self-ligating braces use a state-of-the-art sliding mechanism to shift teeth over time without the use of elastic bands or excessive manual tightening. Additionally, there is the option to choose clear, stain-resistant brackets for more discretion.

Invisalign

A highly popular choice for adults without significant orthodontic needs, Invisalign uses clear plastic aligners to shift teeth. Created custom for your mouth, Invisalign features the benefits of traditional braces with a lot more flexibility. When worn, they fit snugly against your teeth, becoming virtually impossible to see by others. Since they are removable, they can be taken out for meals, oral hygiene needs and even for special occasions.

The right orthodontic treatment for you depends on your specific needs and goals. During your appointment, the Prosper Trail Orthodontics team will use the latest technology combined with our extensive knowledge to present your options and guide you to the best choice for the end result you want!
