Benefits of Adult Braces
Improved Oral Health
Straight teeth are easier to clean, reducing your risk of cavities and gum disease. For patients in Chicago, correcting bite alignment can also prevent uneven tooth wear, jaw pain, and TMJ concerns. Orthodontic treatment not only enhances appearance but improves long-term oral health and function for adults throughout Chicago.
Discreet Treatment Options
Modern adult braces in Chicago include aesthetic solutions like clear ceramic brackets and self-ligating systems that are far less noticeable than traditional metal braces. At ACE Dental Center in Chicago, you can straighten your teeth professionally and confidently while maintaining a polished appearance during treatment.
Enhanced Confidence & Function
A straight, balanced smile impacts every aspect of your life from professional settings in downtown Chicago to social events across the city. Adult braces help Chicago patients improve bite function, speak more clearly, and smile with renewed confidence. The result is a healthier, more comfortable smile you’ll feel proud to show every day.
THE ADULT ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT (BRACES) PROCESS
Dr. Azam Saeed begins with a comprehensive orthodontic evaluation at ACE Dental Center in Chicago, including digital X-rays, photos, and precise digital impressions. He assesses your bite, tooth alignment, and jaw relationship to determine the most effective treatment plan for Chicago adults. A personalized plan is created outlining your timeline, expectations, and projected results.
Once your treatment plan is finalized, brackets are carefully bonded to each tooth and connected with an archwire. The placement appointment typically takes 90–120 minutes at our Chicago office. Dr. Saeed ensures ideal positioning for efficient tooth movement and optimal comfort throughout your orthodontic treatment.
You’ll visit ACE Dental Center in Chicago every 4–8 weeks for progress adjustments. During these visits, Dr. Saeed tightens wires, changes elastics if needed, and monitors alignment improvements. Each appointment brings you closer to your ideal smile. Most adult braces treatments in Chicago last 12–24 months depending on complexity.
Once treatment is complete, Dr. Saeed removes your braces and thoroughly cleans your teeth at our Chicago location. Custom retainers are provided to maintain your results long-term. Wearing your retainers as directed ensures your teeth remain beautifully aligned and stable for years to come.
