It’s never too late for a confident smile—and more adults than ever are starting their orthodontic journeys. At Broadbeach Orthodontics, we’ve seen a growing number of adult patients choosing both braces and clear aligners. So, what’s behind the trend?
Let’s explore why adult orthodontics is on the rise—and what you need to know before getting started.
1. Confidence and Self-Care
Adults are embracing orthodontic treatment as part of overall wellness and self-improvement. A straighter smile not only boosts confidence—it can improve oral health and long-term function.
2. Discreet Treatment Options
With innovations like clear aligners (e.g. Angel Aligners, Invisalign) and ceramic braces, many adults feel more comfortable starting treatment without the look of traditional metal braces. These low-profile options fit in seamlessly with professional and social lifestyles.
3. Oral Health Benefits
Misaligned teeth can contribute to gum disease, abnormal wear, and jaw pain. Straightening teeth can make brushing and flossing easier and reduce the risk of long-term dental issues.
4. Affordability and Flexibility
Many orthodontic practices now offer interest-free payment plans, making treatment more accessible. Plus, with advances in digital scanning and planning, appointments are quicker and more convenient than ever.
5. Better Awareness and Changing Perceptions
Orthodontics is no longer just for teens—adults now make up a significant portion of patients. It’s increasingly seen as an investment in health, wellbeing, and self-care.
👀 Clear Aligners? Compliance is Key!
Clear aligners are a popular choice among adults, but success depends on wearing them for 22 hours a day. That means only removing them for eating, drinking (except water), and brushing. If you’re considering aligners, be prepared to commit—consistency is essential to achieve the best results on time.
