4 Orthodontic Treatment Options for Your Graduate

Your son or daughter has worked very hard for many years. Now that things are coming to an end, it’s a great time to consider what you can do to help them as they enter the “real world.” Something that they can always benefit from is the confidence they get from showing off a beautiful, straight smile. Continue reading to learn about some of the orthodontic solutions that can help them achieve pearly whites that will be proud to show off for years to come!

How Will Oral Health Affect Your Child’s Career

Now that their studies are complete, your son or daughter is looking forward to joining the workforce. This usually starts with a combination of interviews and meeting new people. Even though your child may have the knowledge and expertise they need for an internship or entry-level position, making an excellent first impression is a crucial part of the process. If they don’t have a strong, confident smile, achieving this can be much more difficult.

Which Orthodontic Treatments Can Help?

Fortunately, numerous orthodontic treatments out there can help graduates set their smile up for success as they begin their career. Here are some of the most popular options:

• Traditional Braces: This tried and tested orthodontic technique uses metal brackets and wires to correct misalignment and bite problems. From crooked teeth to overbites to more complex issues, traditional braces are a reliable solution.
• Damon Braces: On the surface, Damon braces may seem like traditional braces, but there is a key difference. Instead of using traditional rubber elastics to hold the wire in place, a small latch is present on each bracket for this purpose. This allows for less friction on the wire as the teeth move and can speed up the treatment process without extra force. A clear bracket option is also available for more subtlety.
• Invisalign® Clear Braces: If your child wants a more discreet option, Invisalign could be the solution! This treatment uses a series of clear aligners to slowly shift the teeth into their rightful locations. The best part about them is that they are very difficult to detect, so they can receive orthodontic treatment without it being so obvious.
• InBrace® Invisible Orthodontics: This is a personalized, behind-the-teeth method for straightening teeth. The InBrace Smartwire is placed on the back of the teeth and is programmed with Gentleforce™ technology to gently move your teeth into place. This means no monthly tightening or tray changes.

As your child is entering the adult world, it pays to feel confident. By considering their orthodontic options, you can set them and their smile up for success!
