Adult Orthodontics: It’s Never Too Late for a Straighter Smile
Why more adults are choosing orthodontic treatment, discreet options like Invisalign and clear braces, and how Parent Perk pricing helps parents of current patients.

Why adults choose orthodontics
Many adults never had the chance for braces as kids. Others wore braces years ago but stopped wearing retainers and noticed teeth shifting. Today, discreet options and flexible payment plans make it easier than ever to finally fix what has bothered you for years.
Health benefits
Crowded teeth are harder to clean, increasing the risk of cavities and gum disease. A misaligned bite can cause uneven wear, chipped teeth and jaw discomfort. Orthodontic treatment can improve all of these — and set the stage for successful crowns, bridges or implants when needed.
Discreet options
Invisalign is the most popular choice for adults because aligners are nearly invisible and removable. Clear ceramic braces are another great option. Many adult cases finish in 6 to 18 months.
Parent Perk
If your child is a current Harmony patient, you qualify for our Parent Perk: a $500 courtesy adjustment, $0 down for braces, $480 down for Invisalign and just $99 per month.
