For many reasons lot of people grow up with
crooked and ugly teeth. Perhaps the parents could not afford
the braces, or as children, the treatment was refused because
of fear and lack of awareness. For whatever reason, lots of
adults wish they could have their teeth straightened even
now.
The decision that an adult makes to have
their teeth straightened is not much different than the
decision he or she makes to begin repairing and caring for
the teeth that they have neglected over the course of their
lives
Adult orthodontics is somewhat different from
children's orthodontics. This is because in adults,
unlike children,
the bone is not always in a state of flux, and it takes
somewhat longer to move the teeth. But they do move, and
predictable results are very common. The procedure is the
same as is in children. There are various techniques which
could be used to straighten teeth. The technique to be used
on a particular patient depends on the dentist. With passing
time the appliances to be used in the patient's mouth have
improved. Now one can have aesthetic tooth colored brackets
placed instead of the metallic ones. There is also an option
of lingual orthodontics.
Whatever the technique ,
it is important that the treatment is finished and not left
in between .Sometimes due to the lengthy time involved the
patient loses the patience.
