For Adults

ADULT BRACES FULLERTON, CA

More and more adults today are seeking orthodontic treatment to achieve a happy, healthy smile. In fact, almost 20 percent of all orthodontic patients are over the age of 21. Many adults realize the importance of tooth and gum health and are ready to feel good about their appearance. We offer a wide selection of appliances and treatments to meet the individual needs of every patient.

 


COMMON REASONS WHY ADULTS ARE CONSIDERING ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT:

  • Pain or pressure in the mouth and jaw caused by crooked teeth
  • Teeth are crowded or have gaps
  • Overbite or underbite causing teeth to fit together poorly
  • Desire for healthy teeth and a happy smile
  


TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR ADULTS

Healthy teeth can be treated at any age, so there’s no such thing as being too old for braces . For many adults, just the thought of wearing metal braces is enough to discourage them from seeking orthodontic care. However, there are more discreet, comfortable, customizable treatment options today than ever before, including:

  • Ceramic braces
  • Clear Liners
  • Invisible Braces
  • Self-ligating (Damon) braces
  • Lingual (inside) braces
  • Invisalign
  • Traditional metal braces

 

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ADULT ORTHODONTICS AND ORTHODONTICS FOR CHILDREN AND TEENS:

Orthodontic treatment of adults is different from the treatment of younger patients. Primarily, the jawbones of adults are fully developed and therefore cannot be changed structurally with orthodontic appliances in the same way as a child’s growing jawbones. Orthognathic surgery is an option to align jawbones in adults. Other differences in treatment of adults include:

  • Improper childhood orthodontic treatment – Some adults have received dental and orthodontic treatment in their youth but may not have fully completed or maintained their results. As an adult, they recognize the value of good oral care and a beautiful smile and choose to complete orthodontic treatment.
  • Loose, missing, or worn teeth – Teeth can become worn, loose, and shift into different positions over time. These issues can only be resolved with orthodontic care. Missing teeth can impact the positions of other surrounding teeth, causing them to shift
  • Gum (periodontal) or bone disease – Gum recession, advanced periodontal disease, and bone loss due to gingivitis are more prevalent in adults than children. To maintain good periodontal health, patients need to have regular checkups and practice good oral hygiene at home.

At Fullerton Orthodontics, we recognize the nuances between the orthodontic needs of children and adults. We will work with you to determine the most appropriate treatments for your needs and concerns.


WHY SHOULD YOU CONSIDER ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT?

  • Improved Appearance – The most visible benefit of orthodontic treatment is the increased appearance and self-esteem that accompany your new smile
  • Better Oral Health – Not only are straight teeth more attractive, they are also easier to clean and may help prevent other health problems
  • Upgraded Oral Function – Receiving orthodontic treatment can help prevent long-term health issues from arising and maximize jaw and tooth function.

    I'm so happy for choosing Dr. Majd as my orthodontist, she is so caring and professional. I had gone to see a few orthodontist and I didn't felt comfortable with any of them until I meet Dr. Majd I knew she was the one. My case was not easy at all but I couldn't be more happy with the results. I really recommend her and her lovely staff they have excellent skills and wonderful attitude. Thank you so much for my beautiful smile !!!

    Dr. Majd is on of the best Orthodontists in the Fullerton area. My drive was 25 minutes and it was worth it. She is cheerful, friendly, and kind. I would especially choose her for a child's care if he or she is a bit timid about going to the dentist in general. I highly recommend her and this office.

    I absolutely love this place! I have always hated going to the dentist because I don have a nice smile and could never afford braces. I thought my teeth were too far gone for Invisalign! I was wrong! The entire staff and doctors were so unbelievably nice and working hard and pushing my smile to be better by the time I get married in 2 months! You can tell the moment that you walk through the door that they care and you’ll be taken of

    The children’s dentist is always super gentle and explains everything in detail to my son and myself. Always a clean office and very professional when it comes to appointment making. My son is no longer scared of the dentist and loves the prize he gets every time he is done which is usually a balloon and a small toy. Thanks guys keep up the great work.
    P.s. the dentist assistants are always super sweet and helpful with my son as well

    This was the second Orthodontics office that I visited and when I first came I knew it would be the one I'd choose to fix my not so great teeth (at the time). This really is a "Family" Orthodontics environment. The team is so nice and welcoming. Dr. Majd is just spectacular and I'm so glad I got to have her as my Orthodontist. She really cares about the results of your teeth and wants to make sure you're 100% satisfied. I love her for that! I'm almost at the tail end of my treatment and it went by quicker than expected thanks to Dr. Majd's instruction and her team's help. I live about 45 miles from here and I wouldn't change my place of treatment for anything. The commute is WORTH it. Thank you Dr. Majd and family for everything :)
