Modern Orthodontic Solutions for Adults
We understand that our adult patients value aesthetics and convenience. That’s why we offer a range of advanced orthodontic treatments designed to deliver incredible results with minimal disruption to your daily life.
Spark™ Clear Aligners
The most popular choice for adults, Spark Clear Aligners are virtually invisible, removable, and comfortable. These custom-made trays gently shift your teeth into their ideal position without the need for wires or brackets. You can eat, brush, and floss as you normally would, all while discreetly straightening your smile.
Damon™ System Self-Ligating Braces
For those who prefer braces, the Damon System offers a revolutionary alternative to traditional methods. These braces use a sophisticated slide mechanism that reduces pressure and friction, leading to faster, more comfortable treatment and fewer office visits. They are also available with clear brackets for a more subtle appearance.
Surgical Orthodontics
For complex bite or jaw alignment issues, we collaborate with top oral surgeons to provide corrective jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery). This treatment can dramatically improve your ability to chew, speak, and breathe, while also creating a more balanced and harmonious facial profile.
Common Issues We Address with Adult Orthodontics
Orthodontic treatment for adults goes beyond just aesthetics; it’s about improving function and long-term health. We can help you correct a variety of concerns, including:
- Crowded or crooked teeth
- Unwanted gaps or spacing between teeth
- Bite problems like overbite, underbite, or crossbite
- Jaw pain and TMJ/TMD symptoms
- Tooth wear caused by a poor bite
- Preparation for restorative work like implants or veneers
Frequently Asked Questions About Adult Treatment
Am I too old for orthodontic treatment?
Absolutely not. It is never too late to improve your smile and oral health. Your teeth can be moved at any age, as long as your gums and bone structure are healthy. We treat patients in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond!
How is adult treatment different from treatment for teens?
The main difference is that adult jaws are no longer growing. This may mean that certain complex bite corrections require a different approach. Additionally, adults are more likely to have previous dental work or conditions like gum disease, which our orthodontists will carefully consider when creating your personalized treatment plan.
How long will my treatment take?
Treatment time varies depending on the complexity of your case and the type of appliance used. Many adult treatments can be completed in 12-24 months. During your free consultation, we will provide you with a clear and accurate estimate of your treatment timeline.
Is adult orthodontic treatment painful?
You may experience some mild soreness or sensitivity for a few days after your appliances are first placed or adjusted. This discomfort is temporary and easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Modern treatments like the Damon System and Spark Aligners are designed to be as gentle and comfortable as possible.
