Orthodontic treatment is no longer just for teens. Adults everywhere are choosing treatment because they understand the importance of maintaining their health — and want to feel more confident in their smile.
According to the American Association of Orthodontists, 1 in 5 orthodontic patients is over the age of 21.
Teeth fitting together incorrectly, affecting function and appearance.
Can lead to tooth decay or gum disease if left unaddressed.
Abnormal pain caused by crooked or misaligned teeth.
A desire for a healthier mouth and a more confident smile.
Today's orthodontic options are comfortable, aesthetic, and customized — far removed from the metal braces of the past.
Porcelain or ceramic brackets that blend naturally with your teeth.
Clip-based design for fewer adjustments and a more comfortable experience.
Removable clear trays that are barely noticeable when worn.
The tried-and-tested option offering precise and reliable control.
The main difference is that the jawbones of younger patients are still developing. For adults, these bones have stopped growing, which may make orthognathic surgery an option to align the jawbones. Other differences include:
Adults are more likely to experience gum recession or bone loss due to periodontal disease. Straighter teeth reduce the risk of gum disease.
Teeth can wear down and shift over time. Missing teeth cause others to tilt and create a bad bite, increasing the risk of gum disease.
Many adults began orthodontic treatment as a child but never finished. Adult treatment lets them finally achieve the smile they always wanted.
Our office recognizes that adults and children have different needs. We will work with you to ensure you receive the most appropriate treatments, with understanding and respect at every visit.
Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean with flossing and brushing, and may help prevent other health problems.
Orthodontic treatment can boost your self-confidence and give you the freedom to smile without holding back.
Not treating orthodontic problems when needed can create long-term health issues that cost more to correct later.
