Orthodontics is a treatment that is often applied to adults and soccer players, contrary to what it may seem. In this article, we will discuss the advantages of this treatment as an adult.
Why do soccer players choose to wear braces?
It’s never too late to wear a perfect smile. Adult orthodontics is a treatment that allows to improve the smile in a very efficient way. To do this, an appliance is placed that modifies the position of the teeth so that they are perfectly aligned and more harmonious with your face.
Orthodontics is, therefore, one of the best ways to improve dental esthetics, since it modifies the position of the teeth, correcting positional problems and malformations.
In fact, many celebrities wear or have worn braces to improve their dental aesthetics and achieve a perfect smile.

Orthodontics is a very effective treatment, which is why many soccer players and elite sportsmen and sportswomen are seeking to improve their smiles with orthodontics. Here are some examples:

The ‘Apache’ Tevez ostensibly improved his smile, correcting a narrow palate problem, as well as a bad position of the front teeth.

Can I get orthodontics like a soccer player?
Orthodontics is a treatment that requires extensive planning to be effective. In our clinic in Barcelona we work with the highest technology in orthodontics in Spain so that your treatment is perfect.
To do this, we use two of the best procedures in dentistry today. On the one hand, the smile design, with which we plan how your smile will look like before starting the treatment.
On the other hand, we use the latest CEREC 3D scanner technology to obtain a detailed image of the patient’s mouth. In this way we can offer a tailor-made treatment that is as effective as possible.
What are the options for adult orthodontics in Barcelona?
Adult orthodontics has several treatment options:
- Bracket orthodontics. It is the most economical treatment. With it, we correct the position of the teeth thanks to a metallic appliance that modifies their position to achieve a perfect smile.
- Esthetic orthodontics. Esthetic orthodontics for adults uses a system similar to that of braces, except that the retainers that are placed on the teeth are transparent. This allows for a much more esthetic treatment.
- Invisalign or invisible orthodontics. The latest in adult orthodontics. This system is the most aesthetic and comfortable on the market. Thanks to their transparent aligners, no one will notice that you are wearing them. In addition, they can be removed for eating and brushing teeth.
- Lingual orthodontics. It is completely invisible, as the archwires and brackets are placed on the inside of the teeth, so they are not visible at all. However, the process to place it is more complex.
As you can see, there is a wide range of orthodontic treatment for adults. Therefore, it is important to visit our clinic in Barcelona to obtain a personalized treatment plan.
Complications of orthodontics in adults What can happen?
Orthodontics in adults is just as safe and effective as in adolescence or childhood. In other words, permanent teeth usually emerge from the age of 11 or 12, an age after which orthodontics is just as effective.
In this sense, orthodontics for adults is a treatment in great demand by more and more people to improve their smile.
This treatment also requires a great deal of planning on the part of the clinic, which minimizes the chances of having any type of complication.
The most common complications are related to bracket orthodontics, where patients may experience discomfort during the first few weeks of treatment. After all, we are putting a metal device inside the mouth.
Discomfort that can be reduced with cosmetic orthodontics or Invisalign. More modern and comfortable treatments for the patient.
Is there an age limit for adult orthodontics?
To think that there is a certain age to start orthodontic treatment in adults is a totally erroneous myth. Once the permanent teeth have grown in, anyone can begin orthodontic treatment with optimal results.
That is why in our dental clinic in Barcelona we do not set an age limit. Rather, we analyze the case in a personalized manner and propose a treatment plan based on the patient’s needs.
What are the possible side effects of orthodontics in adults?
Adult orthodontics, as such, has no side effects. In fact, this type of treatment is one of the most demanded by patients (and most recommended by dentists) to improve the smile.
The reason is that they are very effective in the long term and have no or very few side effects for the patient.
As we have seen, this type of treatment is highly recommended in all stages of life, since it allows the patient to improve his or her smile permanently and effectively.
