What is adult orthodontics?

Roughly one in four orthodontic patients today is an adult. Whether you never had braces as a kid or your teeth have shifted since, modern orthodontics makes it easier than ever to straighten your smile on your own terms.

Straight teeth aren’t just about looks. Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, wear more evenly and put less stress on your jaw joints — which can help reduce headaches, gum problems and tooth damage over time.

Our doctors coordinate closely with your general dentist when crowns, implants or gum health are part of the picture, and we design treatment around your work and family schedule.

Why patients choose it

Benefits of Adult Orthodontics

  • Discreet

    Clear aligners and tooth-colored braces mean most people won’t know you’re in treatment.

  • Better oral health

    Aligned teeth are easier to brush and floss, lowering the risk of decay and gum disease.

  • Fits your schedule

    Fewer visits with Invisalign and early-morning appointments starting at 7:30am.

  • Parent Perk pricing

    Parents of current patients get a $500 courtesy adjustment and $99/month payments.

Options that fit your lifestyle

Invisalign and Sure Aligners are clear, removable trays replaced every one to two weeks. Treatment typically lasts 6–15 months and most people won’t even know you’re wearing them.

What’s different for adults

Adult jawbones are no longer growing, so movement can take a bit longer. Habits like grinding can affect results, so we work closely with you — and your dentist when needed — for the best outcome.

Parent Perk

While your child is in treatment with us, focus on your smile too: a $500 courtesy adjustment, $0 down for braces, only $480 down for Invisalign, and just $99/month.

Adult teeth can move a little more slowly because the jaw is no longer growing, but many adult cases finish in 6–18 months.
