Confident Smiles at Any Age with Adult Braces
Braces are no longer just for teenagers. Today, a third of orthodontic patients are adults, proving that it's never too late to invest in your smile.
As we age, our teeth can shift, leading to crowding, bite issues, and dental changes that affect both function and confidence.
Social media has also increased awareness about smile aesthetics, inspiring more adults to seek orthodontic treatment.
Modern orthodontic options like clear aligners and lingual braces offer discreet solutions that fit into busy adult lifestyles.
Whether you're motivated by aesthetics, oral health, or both, adult braces can deliver results that transform your quality of life.

Types of Adult Braces
Adult orthodontic patients have access to a wide range of options, including modern and more traditional braces:
Metal braces: Durable, effective, and suitable for complex cases
Ceramic braces: Tooth-coloured brackets that are less visible
Lingual braces: Attached to the back of the teeth, completely hidden from view
Clear aligners: Virtually invisible and removable
Your orthodontist will recommend the best option for you based on your lifestyle, treatment goals, and the complexity of your case.

When to Get Braces for Adults?
As long as you have healthy teeth and gums, it's never too late to improve your smile.
Many adults seek orthodontic treatment after noticing changes in their bite, misaligned teeth, or gaps that weren't there before.
The sooner you take the first step, the sooner you can begin enjoying your new smile.
Adult Braces vs Teen Braces
| Adult Braces | Teen Braces | |
|---|---|---|
| Procedure Time | Usually 6-18 months, depending on complexity | Often shorter due to ongoing jaw growth and faster tooth movement |
| Case Type | Bite correction, spacing, alignment and restorative preparation | Usually minimal or no restorative component |
| Popular Options | Clear aligners, ceramic, or lingual braces for discretion | Traditional metal or ceramic braces |
| Bone Density | Denser bone may move slightly slower | Softer bone allows quicker movement |
| Lifestyle Impact | Chosen for flexibility and subtlety | Often part of standard teenage dental care |
| Motivation | Aesthetic and functional goals | Primarily functional correction |

My Smile Gets Bigger And Bigger!
I used to really hate everything about my teeth. So I took the plunge about a year ago and got Invisalign and I've been obsessed with the progress since then. Week over week, month over month, they just get straighter and straighter and my smile gets bigger and bigger! It's been really easy and really enjoyable. Up next I'm doing whitening and I can't wait to finish the process.
