Why Consider Orthodontic Treatment as an Adult?
A straight smile offers more than just aesthetic benefits; it contributes to better oral health. For adults, correcting orthodontic issues can lead to significant improvements in both confidence and well-being.
Benefits of adult orthodontics include:
- Improved Oral Health: Straight teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
- Enhanced Confidence: A smile you’re proud to share can boost your self-esteem in both personal and professional settings.
- Correction of Long-Standing Issues: Address problems like crowding, gaps, or bite misalignments that may have worsened over time.
- Better Function: Proper alignment can alleviate issues with chewing, speech, or jaw pain (TMJ/TMD).
Discreet and Effective Treatment Options for Adults
We understand that our adult patients value treatments that fit seamlessly into their busy lives. That’s why we offer several aesthetic options that deliver outstanding results without compromising your professional appearance.
Invisalign® for Adults
Invisalign® is a highly popular choice for adults due to its nearly invisible design. This system uses a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners to gradually shift your teeth into place. The aligners are removable, allowing you to eat, drink, brush, and floss with ease.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces provide the same reliable strength as traditional metal braces but with a more subtle appearance. The brackets are made from a clear, translucent material that blends with the natural color of your teeth, making them much less noticeable.
Metal Braces
Today’s metal braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more efficient than ever. Using advanced self-ligating brackets, they offer a time-tested, effective, and often more affordable solution for correcting even the most complex orthodontic cases.

FAQ
Am I too old for braces?
Absolutely not. Healthy teeth can be moved at any age. We successfully treat patients in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond. The most important factor is the health of your teeth and gums, which Dr. Catherine will assess during your initial consultation.
How is adult treatment different from treatment for children or teens?
The main difference is that the jawbone in adults is fully developed, which can sometimes mean slightly longer treatment times. Adults may also have other dental considerations, like existing restorations or gum disease, which we will carefully manage as part of your overall treatment plan.
Will orthodontic treatment be noticeable?
With modern options like Invisalign® and ceramic braces, your treatment can be very discreet. Many of our adult patients choose these aesthetic solutions to straighten their teeth without drawing unwanted attention. We will discuss all available options during your consultation.
Is adult orthodontic treatment affordable?
We believe everyone deserves a smile they love. We are committed to making treatment affordable and will work with you to find a financial plan that fits your budget. We will also help you understand and maximize any insurance benefits you may have.
