Clear Braces for Teens and Adults in Tuscaloosa

Intro Photo

A straight smile looks and feels great.

It is also easier to keep healthy. That’s why you see so many kids wearing braces these days. Straight teeth and a balanced bite just make sense. But adults need help with their teeth too! Clear braces can be the perfect solution for adults with crooked, gapped, or crowded teeth.

Why Would I Need Braces as an Adult?

Many adults find themselves wishing they could have braces but are hesitant about the look or commitment of traditional orthodontics. Some never had orthodontic treatment as children. Others have found that their teeth have shifted and become misaligned, tight, and uncomfortable with age. And some are surprised to find that even though they had braces as a child, their teeth are moving back to the place they were before braces.
Those crooked, crowded teeth are unattractive and uncomfortable, aren’t they? But did you know that crooked, crowded, and misaligned teeth could be bad for your health as well?

How Crooked Teeth Affect Your Health

When teeth are crooked, plaque build-up often increases, leading to periodontal disease and tooth decay. Unbalanced or crowded teeth can cause headaches and jaw pain. This improper balance also means you can’t chew food properly, which can sometimes lead to problems with digestion.
