Orthodontic care isn’t just for children and teens—more adults than ever are investing in their smiles. In fact, according to the American Association of Orthodontists, 1 in 5 orthodontic patients is over the age of 21. If you’re an adult considering orthodontic treatment, you’re not alone. Whether you’re looking to enhance your appearance, improve your dental health, or correct long-standing bite issues, our team at Together Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics is here to help you feel confident every step of the way.

Why It Is Important to Consider Adult Braces

Adults look for orthodontic care for many reasons, including both functional concerns and personal goals. Common issues include:

  • Misaligned bites (malocclusion), causing discomfort or difficulty chewing

  • Crowded or widely spaced teeth, which may lead to tooth decay or gum disease

  • Jaw pain or tension due to poor tooth alignment

  • A desire for improved self-esteem and a healthier, more attractive smile

Modern Teeth Straightening Options

Today’s orthodontic options are more discreet and comfortable than ever. You don’t have to settle for noticeable metal braces—there are solutions tailored to your lifestyle and preferences:

Whether you prefer something discreet or don’t mind visible appliances, we’ll help you find the right solution for your needs.

Benefits of Adult Orthodontic Treatment

Investing in orthodontic treatment as an adult can lead to both immediate and long-term rewards:

  • Straight teeth are healthier teeth – Proper alignment makes brushing and flossing easier, helping to prevent decay, gum disease, and other health complications

  • A confident smile impacts your life – Orthodontics can boost self-esteem, positively influencing your personal and professional interactions

  • Delaying treatment can lead to larger issues – Problems left untreated can worsen over time, potentially resulting in more complex and costly treatments later

Improving Facial Harmony with Adult Orthodontics

Beyond straightening teeth, adult orthodontic treatment can improve the overall proportion and symmetry of the face. This is especially important for adults dealing with jaw alignment issues or facial asymmetry. By carefully repositioning the teeth and jaws, orthodontic treatment can:

  • Enhance facial aesthetics by promoting balance and harmony in your profile

  • Create a more youthful, refreshed appearance by correcting features affected by misaligned jaws

  • Support better function and posture of the jaw, which contributes to overall facial structure and comfort

Orthodontics is not just about your smile—it’s about how your smile fits into the bigger picture of your face.
