Who’s afraid of “metal mouth” and the appearance of braces? Not adults, apparently. According to a new study, adults getting braces has jumped 24 percent since 1996! In fact, did you know one of every five patients in orthodontic treatment is over the age of 21? Yes, braces help make your pearly whites strong, healthy and perfectly-aligned, but perhaps another reason for the spike in adult braces is this: cosmetics. In an age—and society—where looks matter as much as anything, and at a time when evenly-aligned teeth might be the difference between getting a job or a promotion, adults are choosing—wisely—to invest in orthodontics. Orthodontic treatment with Dr. Nickolaychuk can be successful at any age, and adults especially appreciate the benefits of a beautiful smile.
Kildonan Orthodontics provides quality orthodontic care for adults and children in Winnipeg and Selkirk, Manitoba. Dr. Nickolaychuk offers more efficient and comfortable orthodontic treatments, including In-Ovation C clear self-ligating braces, Damon metal self-ligating braces, the Forsus appliance and Invisalign.
If you’ve been thinking about getting that perfect smile, Dr. Nickolaychuk and our dedicated team at Kildonan Orthodontics would love to have you visit for a consultation. Give us a call to set one up.
