Miami Orthodontist Dr. Derek Sanders Offers Many Treatment Options For Adult Orthodontic Patients
Braces and orthodontic treatment are no longer just for teenagers. Miami orthodontist Dr. Derek Sanders reports that one in five of his patients are now adults.

MIAMI, FL, December 07, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Advances in techniques and materials have led to a rapid increase in adult orthodontics in Miami. In fact, Miami orthodontist Dr. Derek Sanders reports that one in five of his new patients are now adults, and that he has treated patients well into their 70s. New orthodontic appliances like Invisalign have a lot to do with the number of adults who have chosen to straighten their teeth and improve the appearance of their smiles.

The benefits of orthodontic treatment for adults are very similar to those experienced by teenage patients. Miami adult orthodontics can give adults more aesthetically pleasing smiles, correct relapse of earlier orthodontic treatment, close gaps between teeth, make it easier to eat, improve oral hygiene by relieving overcrowding, and reduce excessive wear caused by grinding or a misaligned bite. Dr. Sanders's adult patients seek treatment for a variety of reasons, such as wanting a more professional image, improving self-esteem, and improving the function of the teeth and jaw. Some of his patients never had the opportunity for orthodontic treatment as children, and are now seeking it for the first time. Other patients wore braces as teenagers, but have experienced relapse due to to improper wear of retainers. A third group of adult orthodontic patients have previously uncorrectable problems which are now treatable, thanks to the technological advances in orthodontic care.

One of the largest reasons why 20% of orthodontic patients are now adults is the availability of discreet treatments like Invisalign and clear braces. A large number of Miami Invisalign patients are adults who are very concerned with maintaining their professional image while undergoing orthodontic treatment. The clear Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, giving adults the freedom to straighten their teeth without anyone knowing. Invisalign uses state of the art 3D imaging to create a series of custom removable aligners which gradually move the teeth to their optimal position, as prescribed by Dr. Sanders. Invisalign aligners are comfortable to wear, and can often shorten treatment time to as little as 6 to 18 months.

Dr. Sanders is a leading orthodontist in Miami for adult treatment, and he recommends ceramic braces for his adult patients who have more severe problems. Clear ceramic braces can be an appropriate treatment option for patients who are not good candidates for Invisalign. Because they are nearly invisible, ceramic braces are an excellent alternative to standard metal braces for image conscious adults. Adult patients are often pleasantly surprised that the advances in modern orthodontic treatment make wearing braces much more comfortable than when they were children. Today's orthodontic appliances are smaller, more discreet, cause less discomfort, and produce better results in a shorter time.

Dr. Sanders offers free initial consultations to new Invisalign Miami patients. In addition, he is proud to extend interest-free financing for Invisalign patients, with affordable down payments and low monthly payments.
