At Smile Experience Orthodontics, we know there are many different reasons why adults may seek orthodontic treatment. Whether you never had the opportunity to start orthodontic treatment or if your smile has shifted over the years, it’s never too late to get the smile you deserve.
The choice of orthodontic treatment depends on many factors, such as the severity of the misalignment, personal preference and lifestyle. Dr. Rosenberg and his team are happy to work with you to determine the best treatment for your smile. At Smile Experience Orthodontics, we proudly offer orthodontic treatment for adults, including Invisalign®, metal braces and clear ceramic braces.

Orthodontic Treatment for Adults

Adults have many of the same treatment options available to them as teens. Treatment options include:

Invisalign®: These aligners are made from a patented material called SmartTrack®, a medical-grade plastic that fits over your teeth. By applying light pressure, the aligners work in the same way as braces to gently guide the teeth into position. You will receive a series of several aligners, each one with a small amount of active movement built in. Each aligner will guide the teeth further into the correct position. This is a popular treatment option among adults, as it is discreet and comfortable, and allows them to straighten their smiles without putting their lives on hold.
Smile Experience Express: Did you have braces as a child, but your teeth have slightly shifted in adulthood? If you have minor teeth misalignment and just want to touch up your smile, Smile Experience Express may be right for you! This smile touch-up program uses Invisalign® clear aligners to fix minor orthodontic issues comfortably and efficiently.

Metal Braces: Today’s metal braces are smaller and more comfortable than ever before. With this treatment option, metal brackets are glued onto the front surface of the teeth and archwires are used to gently move the teeth into alignment. This treatment option is effective and budget-friendly.
Clear Ceramic Braces: If you’re interested in the orthodontic benefits of metal braces but would like a more discreet look, clear ceramic braces may be an ideal option. The main difference between metal and clear ceramic braces is the material they are made from. Clear braces are made from translucent or tooth-colored material that allows them to blend in with your teeth. This makes them far less noticeable than metal braces when you speak or smile. For those with public-facing jobs or who are self-conscious about their smile, ceramic braces are a great way to pursue treatment without noticeably changing your appearance.

Benefits Of Orthodontic Treatment
For Adults

Besides improving the appearance of your smile, adult orthodontic treatment offers several benefits. It can correct bite issues, such as overbites, underbites, crossbites and open bites, which can lead to improved oral health and function. Straighter teeth are also easier to clean, reducing the risk of dental problems like tooth decay and gum disease. And of course, who doesn’t want a beautiful, healthy-looking smile?

Orthodontic Treatment For Adults Vs. Orthodontic Treatment For Teens

While teens and adults have many of the same orthodontic treatment options available to them, there are a few key differences:

Jaw and bone development

Unlike teens, whose bones are still developing, adults often present with fully developed jaws and facial structures. This can cause teeth and jaws to move slower during orthodontic treatment.

Dental issues

Adults are more likely to have existing dental issues such as gum disease or worn teeth, which need to be addressed before orthodontic treatment can begin.

Hygiene & compliance

Unlike teens, adults are more likely to be compliant with oral hygiene and appliance care, leading to successful treatment and optimal dental health.
