Signs Of Orthodontic Problems In Adults
- Crooked, crowded, or overlapping teeth
- Missing teeth or large gaps between teeth
- Protruding teeth, overbite, or underbite
- Discomfort in chewing, biting, and speaking
- Excessive pressure on teeth and gums, leading to tooth loss
- Difficulty in cleaning between crooked or uneven teeth

Types Of Braces Available For Adults
Advanced Self-Ligating Brackets
Braces are a well-proven treatment for correcting orthodontic issues ranging from minor aesthetic fixes to more complex bite corrections. Luckily, the technology for braces has also progressed leaps and bounds over the past few decades. Today’s braces are less visible, lighter, smaller in size, and can even blend in with your natural smile.
- Traditional Metal Braces – Unlike the “traditional” braces you may initially think of, at Koch Orthodontics, we offer a state-of-the-art version of metal braces. Designed to be smaller, more comfortable, and more efficient, our metal brackets are made from stainless steel and continue to be the most popular option for braces.
- Clear Ceramic Braces – Offering the same great results as metal brackets, clear braces are made from a ceramic material that is designed to blend in with your natural smile. These braces are perfect for patients looking to maintain a more natural and discreet appearance during treatment.
