Why Adults Choose Orthodontic Treatment

Orthodontic issues aren’t limited to childhood. Many adults seek treatment to:

  • Correct crowding or gaps

  • Resolve bite issues (overbite, underbite, crossbite)

  • Relieve jaw pain or discomfort

  • Improve overall oral health and aesthetics

  • Boost confidence at work or in social settings

Whether it’s your first time or you’re returning to treatment after childhood braces, our adult patients consistently see impactful, lasting results.

Treatment Options for Adults

We offer a range of advanced solutions tailored specifically to adult needs:

  • Braces for Adults: Traditional braces are still one of the most effective tools for complex alignment cases. We also offer low-profile, self-ligating options for reduced friction and faster visits.

  • Clear Aligners: Prefer a more discreet solution? Clear aligners like Invisalign and ClearCorrect offer nearly invisible treatment and easy maintenance.

  • Orthodontic Appliances: Depending on your needs, we may recommend orthodontic appliances to support bite correction or retention.

  • Smile Makeovers: For patients seeking aesthetic transformation alongside alignment, our smile makeover treatments combine multiple services for a comprehensive result.

Our digital x-rays and advanced imaging technology allow us to map your treatment precisely and efficiently.
