Adults
Orthodontic treatments for adults can be a game-changer,
offering successful results at any age. In fact, statistics
reveal that in the United States alone, one out of every
five patients seeking orthodontic treatment is over 21 years
old. The motivations behind adult orthodontics are diverse
and unique to each individual. Some adults may opt for
treatment due to aesthetic concerns, while others may seek
orthodontic care to alleviate discomfort while chewing or
relieve pain caused by misalignment issues.
It's important to note that since an adult's teeth and jaws have
finished growing, specialized considerations that don't apply to
children come into play during the treatment process. As such,
your journey towards a healthier smile will likely involve a
collaborative team approach. Dr. Benson will serve as the
architect of your dental plan throughout this transformative
experience while also overseeing its implementation with
meticulous attention to detail.
However, what sets our office apart from others is our commitment
to seamless communication and coordination with other dental
professionals involved in your care - whether it be your dentist,
periodontist, oral surgeon, or any other specialist required along
the way. This comprehensive collaboration ensures that you receive
exceptional tailored treatment catered specifically for adults - a
service not commonly found within many offices.
It's worth mentioning that not all dental offices cater to adult
orthodontic treatments due to the advanced nature of these
procedures and the coordination required among various
practitioners. However, our office stands out from the rest; we
see more than 50% of adults on a regular basis and have built
strong relationships within our referral base who appreciate the
extra effort we put forth for adult treatments.
If you're considering improving your smile or addressing any
concerns related to your teeth or jaw as an adult, visit Benson
Orthodontics.
Children
Orthodontic treatments for children can be a delicate process, and
Dr. Benson, with his vast experience in adult cases, brings a
unique perspective to pediatric treatment. It is not uncommon for
some adults who had previous orthodontic treatment as children to
express dissatisfaction with the results over time. Often, the
underlying cause can be traced back to neglecting their retainer
or choices made by their previous orthodontist, who did not
consider their growth pattern adequately. However, at our
practice, we strive to proactively address potential issues
through Dr. Benson's expertise in adult treatment and advanced
computer growth indicators.
By utilizing specialized software, Dr. Benson can precisely
measure and predict a child's growth trajectory more accurately
than ever before. Nevertheless, it is important to acknowledge
that the human body does not always behave predictably.
Fortunately, Dr. Benson's diagnostic skills enable him to identify
any potential deviations from the expected path early on. In such
cases where there may be uncertainties or irregularities in a
child's growth pattern detected during diagnosis, parents are
fully informed of the benefits of proceeding with immediate
treatment or waiting until a later stage when a more predictable
growth pattern can be achieved.
It becomes evident that orthodontic treatments for children
encompass far more than simply applying braces on the first day of
consultation alone; there are immense considerations involved that
go beyond aesthetics and immediate results. Our commitment lies in
providing comprehensive care while taking into account each
individual patient's unique circumstances and ensuring optimal
long-term outcomes for every child we treat here.
