Braces give adults an opportunity to get a straighter smile and better oral health. What used to be something that was almost exclusively done by teenagers, more and more adults are getting cosmetic orthodontic treatment for straight teeth and a beautiful smile. The development of 6-Month Braces has reduced the length of treatment time considerably making it easier for adults with busy lifestyles to get straight teeth fast.
Here is a guide detailing what you need to know before you get adult braces for straight teeth.
Why Should I Get Adult Braces?
Feel More Confident with your Smile
Crooked teeth can make you feel self-conscious in social situations but adult braces can change that. Getting a better smile can help boost your overall confidence with a more attractive smile. Many adults choose to get braces to enhance their overall appearance and they are often pleased with the results.
Improved Oral Health
A well-aligned bite will improve the function of your teeth/mouth and make it easier to take care of for years to come. Plaque and bacteria will have a much harder time building up which significantly reduces the chances of gum disease and other issues. Correcting bite issues will also make it easier to eat and speak which can prevent excessive wear on your teeth.
Easier to Keep Clean
Brushing and flossing is more straightforward with straighter teeth so it’s considerably easier to maintain good oral hygiene. Crooked teeth often create areas that can be tough to reach with a brush which leads to plaque buildup and then decay. Straight teeth make it much easier to be sure you’re cleaning your entire mouth and reaching the hard-to-reach areas when brushing and flossing.
6-Month Braces at Rapid Braces
The benefits of braces are clear but many adults still shy away from getting straight teeth because of long treatment times. Traditionally braces take 1-2 years to complete with numerous required appointments. Luckily there’s an adult braces option design for busy professionals available!

Dr. Georgaklis developed the new technique by focusing on the end result like a cosmetic dentist and giving personalized attention to each patient.
