Thinking About Adult Braces? It’s Never Too Late

Thinking it might be too late for a better smile? Think again! The simple truth is: No way! You are never too old to get braces and feel good about your smile. Lots of adults, even those over 21 (that’s one out of every five!), are getting their teeth straightened. If you want a healthier, nicer smile, Dr. Douglas J. Elliott at Elliott Orthodontics has good news for you – it’s never too late to start!

Braces for Adults: A Less Visible Option

Adult braces are similar to those for younger patients, but many adults want braces that don’t stand out. You have a job, run errands, and meet with people. Having a nice smile during your treatment matters, and Elliott Orthodontics can help. Today’s braces are thinner and much harder to see than the bulky braces from years ago.

Clear Braces and Invisalign

For adults, we offer clear braces or Invisalign. Damon braces are so hard to see that people might not notice you’re wearing them! They use Damon braces (which don’t need colored rubber bands) with modern wires that need fewer adjustments than old-style braces. They are easy to wear, comfortable, and look great for adults who need braces.

Invisalign is another popular choice for adults. Instead of braces and wires, your teeth are slowly moved into place with clear plastic trays. You can take them out when you eat, brush, and floss! Invisalign is easy to use and comfortable, making it a great option for your treatment.
