Adult Treatment

Orthodontic treatment is no longer just for teens. According to the American Association of Orthodontists, 1 in 5 orthodontic patients is over the age of 21. Many adults today recognize the importance of maintaining their oral health and improving their appearance, and we’re here to help you do the same. No matter your age, it’s never too late to achieve a healthy, beautiful smile that reflects the best version of you.

Why Adults Choose Orthodontic Treatment in Peoria, AZ

Adults seek orthodontic care for a variety of reasons, including:

• Malocclusion (Bad Bite): Teeth that don’t fit together correctly, causing discomfort or abnormal jaw pressure.
• Crowded or Spaced Teeth: Misaligned teeth can lead to difficulty cleaning, increasing the risk of tooth decay or gum disease.
• Jaw Pain or Pressure: Crooked teeth may contribute to ongoing discomfort.
• Health and Confidence: A properly aligned smile is easier to maintain and boosts self-esteem.

Treatment Options for Adults

We understand that the idea of traditional metal braces can feel discouraging to some adults. That’s why modern orthodontics offers a range of comfortable, aesthetic, and customized treatment options, including:

• Invisalign®: Clear, removable aligners that fit seamlessly into your lifestyle.
• Clear Braces: Subtle ceramic brackets are designed to give a more discreet appearance.
• Traditional Metal Braces: An effective option for even the most complex cases.

Why Consider Orthodontics as an Adult?

• Healthier Teeth and Gums: Straight teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
• Enhanced Confidence: A straight smile boosts self-esteem, giving you the freedom to smile without hesitation.
• Prevent Long-Term Issues: Leaving orthodontic concerns untreated can lead to more serious (and costly) problems down the road.

Thanks to advancements in orthodontic technology, today’s treatments are more efficient and comfortable than ever. Modern appliances are designed to apply gentle pressure, reducing discomfort and often shortening treatment time. We also understand that adults have busy schedules. Our team will work with you to ensure appointments are convenient and stress-free.
