One of the most common reasons for adult orthodontic treatment is to improve the appearance of the teeth.

The reasons adults choose to have cosmetic alignment are varied:

 

• The teeth may have always been crooked or mal-aligned and now is the time to get them straightened

• Previously aligned teeth have become crooked and this seems to be getting worse

• Relapse of, or, failed previous orthodontic treatment

• Getting married

• Only just noticed teeth were mal-aligned from photograph or video
