For Adults
Braces aren’t just for teens—1 in 5 orthodontic patients is over 21. Whether you’re looking to fix a bite issue, improve your health, or boost your confidence, adult orthodontics offers effective solutions that fit your lifestyle.
Why Adults Choose Orthodontics:
- Misaligned bite or crowded teeth
- Jaw pain or pressure caused by misalignment
- Gaps that affect speech, function, or aesthetics
- Desire for a confident, healthier smile
Modern Options Made for Adults:
Forget the bulky braces of the past. Today’s treatment options include:
- Clear or ceramic braces
- Lingual (behind-the-teeth) braces
- Self-ligating systems
- Nearly invisible clear aligners
- Traditional metal braces (smaller and more comfortable than ever)
What Makes Adult Treatment Different?
- Jawbones are fully developed, sometimes requiring surgical coordination
- Adults are more prone to gum or bone loss from periodontal disease
- Tooth wear or past incomplete treatment may affect your plan
The Benefits Go Beyond Aesthetics:
- Straight teeth are easier to clean and maintain
- A better bite helps prevent future dental issues
- A confident smile can positively impact your personal and professional life
