Braces and orthodontics for adults in Vaudreuil-Dorion: it’s no longer just for teenagers
20 years ago, seeing an adult in their 35s, 45s, or 60s with braces was unusual. Today, nearly 30% of orthodontic patients in Quebec are adults. More discreet treatment options, such as clear aligners and lingual braces, have made orthodontics much more accessible to those who want to correct their smile without shouting it from the rooftops.
And motivation is no longer just aesthetic: more and more adults are consulting for functional reasons — tooth wear, headaches, gum problems or simply to preserve the health of their mouths in the long term.
Why are more and more adults consulting
There are many reasons. For some, it’s a question of aesthetics : to find a smile of which you are proud, after having put off the decision for a long time. For others, it is a recurrence after treatment received in adolescence — often related to the cessation of wearing restraint.
Orthodontics is also increasingly used to prepare for the placement of implants or crowns, by repositioning the teeth to optimize the final result. Then there are functional problems : jaw joint pain (TMJ), bruxism, premature tooth wear.
And in some cases, orthodontics even plays a role in the treatment of sleep apnea, when the anatomy of the jaws contributes to the problem.
Options for Adults
Several options are available to adults depending on their lifestyle, clinical case and budget:
- Invisalign and clear aligners — The most requested option by professionals. Virtually invisible, removable for meals and important appointments. Typical duration: 6 to 24 months.
- Ceramic braces — Inconspicuous, tooth-colored, as effective as metal in the vast majority of cases.
- Lingual braces — Placed at the back of the teeth, so they are 100% invisible. Higher cost, and a short period of adaptation for speech is to be expected.
- Metal pins — The most economical and versatile option, especially suitable for complex cases.
All your questions can be answered during your first free consultation.
