The benefits of adult orthodontics
Improved oral health

Long-term results
Orthodontic treatment provides long-lasting benefits. With proper care and retainers, the results can be maintained for a lifetime.
Understanding adult orthodontics
Adult orthodontics involves correcting misaligned teeth and jaws in individuals aged 18 and older. Unlike treatments for children and teens, it focuses on unique challenges that arise with age — tooth wear, gum disease, or previous dental work.
This treatment can straighten teeth, improve bite alignment, and enhance the overall appearance of your smile — and may be paired with cosmetic options like laser contouring. We offer lingual braces, invisible aligners, and Invisalign to meet the diverse needs of our adult patients.
Types of treatment for adults
Common reasons adults seek treatment
Misaligned teeth
Crooked or crowded teeth are hard to clean, leading to cavities and gum disease. Aligning them makes brushing and flossing easier.
Bite issues
Overbites, underbites, crossbites or open bites affect chewing and speaking. Correcting them improves function and prevents damage.
Jaw alignment problems
When the upper and lower jaws don’t align, it can cause discomfort or pain. Treatment provides relief and improves facial symmetry.
Aesthetic concerns
A straight, well-aligned smile boosts confidence and self-esteem, positively impacting personal and professional interactions.
