Orthodontic Treatment for Adults

Orthodontic care isn’t just for teens anymore! In fact, about 1 in 5 orthodontic patients is an adult, according to the American Association of Orthodontists. Whether you’re looking to improve your oral health or feel more confident about your smile, it’s never too late to start.

Why Consider Orthodontic Treatment as an Adult?

• Fix a bad bite or crowding: Misaligned teeth can cause discomfort or make oral hygiene challenging.
• Relapse from past treatment: If your teeth have shifted over time, we can help you regain the straight, confident smile you had before.
• Boost confidence: A straighter smile can help you feel your best and leave a lasting impression.

Treatment Options We Offer

We know adults want orthodontic care that’s both effective and fits into their busy lives. That’s why we focus on two flexible, modern options:

• Standard Braces: A trusted and effective way to achieve great results.
• Clear Aligners: Nearly invisible aligners that offer a discreet and convenient option.

Both options are designed to help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted.

How Adult Orthodontics Differs from Treatment for Teens and Kids

Orthodontic care for adults comes with unique considerations compared to treatment for younger patients. While children and teens are still growing, adults’ jawbones have fully developed. This means certain adjustments, like aligning the jawbones, may require different approaches—though surgical options are rarely necessary.

Here are a few key differences:

• Gum or bone health: Adults are more likely to experience gum recession or bone loss due to periodontal disease. Orthodontic treatment can help by properly aligning teeth, making them easier to clean and reducing the risk of gum disease.
• Worn or missing teeth: Teeth can wear down or shift over time, potentially creating alignment issues or bad bites. Orthodontic care can correct these problems and prevent further complications.
• Relapse from past treatment: Many adults didn’t wear their retainers consistently after earlier orthodontic care—don’t worry, you’re not alone! This is a common issue, and we can create a customized plan to get your smile back on track.

We understand that adults and children have different needs. At our office, we work with you to create a customized treatment plan, ensuring your goals are met with care, attention, and respect.

Why Choose Orthodontic Treatment?

• Healthier teeth: Straight teeth are easier to clean, helping prevent cavities and gum disease.
• Confidence boost: A beautiful smile can improve how you feel in both personal and professional settings.
• Prevention: Addressing misaligned teeth now can help avoid bigger issues and costs in the future.
