Thumb sucking is something children naturally do. It may comfort them and help them feel secure. However, when children continue sucking their thumbs as their permanent teeth emerge, long-term problems may develop. If this happens with your child, you may want to consult a kids' orthodontist in Thomasville such as Dr. Bradley Adams.
At Adams Orthodontics, we're proud to help patients of all ages achieve gorgeous new smiles throughout Valdosta & Thomasville, GA. But often, we hear patients ask us: is there a difference between orthodontics for adults and orthodontics for children? While both adult and pediatric orthodontics use the same fundamental techniques and technologies, there are a few key differences between these two forms of treatment.
You've made the decision. You or your loved one are going to take the first step toward creating a beautiful, confident smile and healthier mouth by beginning orthodontic treatment. But which treatment is best for you? Adams Orthodontics offers our Valdosta and Thomasville area patients several types of braces as well as Damon® braces and Invisalign Clear Aligners. Dr. Bradley Adams and his staff work with children, teens and adults to help you determine the best options for your situation. We've put together this helpful chart to help you clearly see the individual advantages of both braces and Invisalign.
