ProviderEmbracing Braces for Adults in Fairbanks, North Pole & Beyond
For many adults, orthodontic treatment with braces can be an ideal way to resolve misalignment and bite issues that they've been dealing with since childhood.
If you've been considering orthodontic treatment as an adult, but have been hesitating because you're concerned about how braces look, we'd like to encourage you to reconsider your perspective.
These days, more subtle options such as translucent (ceramic) braces mean you can get the orthodontic treatment you need with a more discreet look.
At Wentz Orthodontics, we love how all styles of braces look. If you really embrace them, they can be a unique and striking element of your personal style throughout your orthodontic treatment.
But there are other benefits of braces for adults as well. Take a look below to learn more.

More About Orthodontics for AdultsThe Benefits of Braces for Adults
With the availability of clear aligner treatments like Invisalign, you may be wondering why we often recommend that adults consider braces instead. Here are a few reasons.
Versatility
Braces are a durable and versatile way to resolve pretty much any misalignment, no matter how complicated. From minor tooth realignments to rotating and lengthening teeth, braces get the job done.
Efficiency
Modern braces are smaller, more discreet, and designed to apply optimal force in multiple directions, making even complex tooth movements more efficient and effective while maintaining a low-profile appearance.
Consistancy
As a fixed orthodontic treatment option, braces can be the ideal way to ensure that treatment milestones are consistently met and treatment is completed as quickly as possible. No cheating, no breaks, just getting the job done.

Orthodontic braces traditionally straighten teeth using a combination of brackets, elastic bands, and wires.
But today's braces aren't the clunky, uncomfortable face-full-of-metal that you might be picturing from decades ago. Modern braces are sleeker and more comfortable than ever before.
