Contrary to common misconceptions, braces or orthodontal treatments aren’t just for children. 1 in 5 orthodontic patients is over the age of 18, which is attributed to a wider selection of orthodontic systems for adult braces. Dr. Makadia strives to provide his patients with the solutions they need to achieve their best smiles while accommodating their lifestyles. Even patients in their 40s can benefit from adult braces using advanced methods, like clear aligners, SureSmile, or Invisalign,. Dr. Makadia has helped many of his patients in Suffolk County invest in a straight smile without compromising their professional appearance using clear aligners. Above are before and after photos of an adult man treated with clear aligners. As you can see, the results are amazing!
Convenient Orthodontic Solutions for Adults
The gentleman was displeased because his smile didn’t accommodate his professional work environment. He had also developed oral health issues because his teeth were difficult to keep clean. He was also having complications with his temporomandibular joint, making it difficult to bite and chew. Although he was ready to improve his smile, he feared a long road ahead and did not want uncomfortable wires and brackets.
Despite his apprehensions, he scheduled a consultation with Dr. Makadia, who took the time to make him feel at ease while he assessed his cosmetic and functional orthodontic needs. Based on his career and desire for quick results, Dr. Makadia recommended Invisalign. The nearly invisible aligners are ideal for busy adults wanting a sophisticated orthodontic treatment.
A series of clear aligners are worn over the teeth to apply continual pressure to reposition them gradually. They are worn for about 22 hours per day, switching to the next aligner in the series every 1-2 weeks. While everyone’s plan differs, most patients are finished with their aligners in about 12 months.
Dr. Makadia created a personalized plan to enhance the patient’s teeth, jaw, bite, and joins. In less than 1 year, he had completed his series of aligners and improved his oral health. Besides achieving a confident smile, his teeth are easier to clean to prevent tooth decay and gum disease. Not only did he revamp his appearance, but also lowered his overall dental expenses. He was so pleased with his results that he had wished he would have found Dr. Makadia sooner.

Dr. Makadia offers cutting-edge services customized to each patient’s unique needs. Although the gentleman mentioned above chose Invisalign, there are several types of adult braces, including:
- Traditional Braces
