Ageless Smiles

Quest Johnson Orthodontics

Our teeth are probably the only thing on our faces that won’t get wrinkles…but our teeth certainly do show signs of aging. If you want to look younger and healthier, your teeth are a great place to start! 

As we grow older, many of us turn to expensive and invasive cosmetic treatments ranging from lip augmentations to facelifts in an effort to retain a youthful appearance. However, more and more adults, are now turning to less traumatic orthodontic treatments as an anti-aging tool and are gaining not just a beautiful smile, but some remarkable facial aesthetics, as well. By enhancing the alignment and widening the arch of the teeth, orthodontic treatment can create better facial balance and aesthetics, lending the appearance of fuller cheeks and lips, smoother and higher cheek contours, and broader smiles, as well as compensate for the inevitable loss of facial muscle over time. Simply put…orthodontic treatment at later stages in life can dramatically improve your personal appearance and self-esteem. 

3 Easy Steps to take 10 Years off your Appearance 

Step 1 - Even if you were born with perfectly straight teeth, something called mesial drift will cause them to shift over time. Crowded teeth are an instant giveaway of age and straightening your teeth can often take years off your appearance. Crowded teeth also increase the risk of tooth decay, premature tooth loss, and gum recession, all of which show our age. 

Step 2 - Teeth naturally darken and yellow as we age. One reason is that your teeth absorb color from food and drinks. Whitening your teeth with custom whitening trays is the best way to achieve a deep and thorough color change that can take years off your appearance. 

Step 3 - Old-looking teeth have wear and tear. While we sleep, we gnash and grind our teeth. A night guard can protect your teeth from this damage and keep your teeth looking more youthful. A night guard also prevents crowding by keeping the teeth in place while you wear it. 

Fun Fact: A large percentage of our patients at Quest Johnson Orthodontics are adults and they all agree that it's never too late to improve your smile.
