Adult Orthodontics
Do I Need Treatment?
Obtaining a straight, beautiful smile is possible at any age. Orthodontics for adults works the same way as it does for kids and teens. If you’re asking yourself “Will I be the only adult in braces?” The answer is: No! Roughly 1 in 5 of our patient’s is an adult! Would you like to correct:
- Crowding of the upper & lower front teeth
- Shifting since previous treatment as a child
- Open space to replace missing teeth
- Stop accelerated wear due to a deep bite
What Are My Treatment Options?
Invisalign®
Invisalign® is a clear aligner system used for correcting the alignment of your teeth and bite correction. Invisalign requires excellent patient cooperation — specifically wearing the aligners 19 to 20 hours a day. Invisalign is best suited for motivated patients!
Clear Braces
Clear braces are made of ceramic, and therefore are popular among teens and adults because they are less noticeable. Ceramic braces do not require any colors; the only metal that shows is the small wire passing through the brackets. While they are clear, ceramic braces are slightly larger than traditional metal brackets, and typically are only placed on the upper teeth. Clear braces are ideal for someone who has cosmetic concerns but does not desire aligner treatment.
