Adult orthodontics: The techniques and benefits of orthodontics with Orthodiag

Smile aesthetics play an increasingly important role in our society, and adults are no exception to this trend. Fortunately, thanks to recent technological advances in orthodontics, it is now possible to benefit from treatments that are effective, discreet and tailored to the specific needs of adult patients.

Orthodontic Treatment Options for Adults

For treatment options for adults, but also for children, our teams recommend three types of treatment , each with specific depending on the patient ‘s oral health:

Invisible aligners

Among the most popular adult orthodontic solutions are invisible aligners. These removable clear plastic appliances are custom-made to fit the patient’s teeth perfectly. Invisible aligners, such as Invisalign, make it possible to gradually correct dental anomalies by exerting constant pressure on the teeth concerned.

The main advantage of this technique is its discretion: as the aligner is transparent, it blends naturally with the colour of the teeth and remains virtually invisible. What’s more, the aligners can be removed at mealtimes or for oral hygiene, making everyday life much easier for the patient.

Lingual orthodontics

Lingual orthodontics is another attractive alternative for aesthetically-minded adults. This technique involves fixing metal brackets (or rings) to the inside of the teeth, i.e. on the tongue side. As a result, the device remains invisible when the patient is talking or smiling.

Lingual orthodontics offer a good level of comfort, although the adaptation period may be slightly longer than for invisible aligners.

Aesthetic brackets

Aesthetic brackets are another option for adults who want discreet orthodontic treatment. These brackets can be made from a variety of materials, such as ceramic or plastic, and come in a range of colours to match the natural shade of your teeth.

Although they are less discreet than invisible aligners and lingual orthodontics, aesthetic brackets nevertheless offer an interesting compromise between effectiveness and discretion.

Advantages of Adult Orthodontics

Aesthetics

Thanks to a self-diagnosis on the Orthodiag application and a subsequent consultation with our specialists, you can improve the appearance of your smile and boost your self-confidence.

A harmonious smile can boost self-esteem and encourage personal and professional fulfilment.

Functional

Beyond the purely aesthetic aspects, self-diagnosis on Orthodiag and consultation with one of our specialists also have functional benefits in the long term.

By correcting abnormalities, our treatment will enable you to improve oral hygiene and prevent future dental problems, such as cavities or periodontal disease.

Treatment process and duration

The treatment process begins with a self-diagnosis carried out directly on our application. This self-diagnosis is a more economical alternative to diagnosis by a professional. Then, depending on your pathologies, our teams will have an initial opinion and can prepare a tailor-made treatment for you after a full analysis of your oral health.

The average length of orthodontic treatment for adults is between 12 and 24 months, but this may vary depending on the complexity of the case and the technique chosen.

In conclusion, adult orthodontics today offers effective, discreet solutions to meet patients’ aesthetic and functional expectations. Whether you opt for invisible aligners, lingual orthodontics or aesthetic brackets, don’t hesitate to consult a qualified orthodontist for a personalised assessment and made-to-measure support.
