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
