Braces for Adults

It’s never too late to improve your smile. If you’re an adult with crooked teeth, crowding, gaps, or bite concerns, orthodontic treatment can help you achieve a straighter, healthier smile at any age.

At Dr. Rubin Orthodontics, we offer orthodontic treatment designed around the needs and goals of adult patients. Whether you never had braces as a child or your teeth have shifted over time, Dr. Rubin can create a personalized treatment plan to help improve your smile and overall dental alignment.

Why Consider Braces as an Adult?

Many adults choose orthodontic treatment because they want to improve both the appearance and function of their smiles. Straightening your teeth can make it easier to maintain good oral hygiene and may help improve your bite and overall dental health.

Adult orthodontic treatment can help address concerns such as:

  • Crowded or overlapping teeth.
  • Gaps or spaces between teeth.
  • Crooked or rotated teeth.
  • Bite problems, including overbites and underbites.
  • Teeth that have shifted after previous orthodontic treatment.
  • Difficulty keeping certain areas of your teeth clean.

Whether your orthodontic concerns are cosmetic, functional, or both, Dr. Rubin can help determine the best treatment approach for your smile.

What Types of Braces Are Available for Adults?

Adults have more orthodontic treatment options than ever before. Depending on your individual needs and preferences, Dr. Rubin may recommend traditional metal braces or more discreet options such as clear braces.

Traditional Metal Braces
Modern metal braces are smaller and more comfortable than ever. They provide reliable, effective tooth movement and can treat a wide range of orthodontic concerns.

Clear Braces
Clear braces use tooth-colored or ceramic brackets that blend more naturally with your smile. They can be an excellent option for adults who want effective orthodontic treatment with a more discreet appearance.

During your consultation, Dr. Rubin will evaluate your smile and discuss which treatment option best fits your orthodontic needs, lifestyle, and goals.

How Long Does Adult Orthodontic Treatment Take?

Every patient is different, so treatment time varies depending on the complexity of your orthodontic concerns and how your teeth respond to treatment.

Your age, bite, tooth movement, and treatment goals can all influence the length of your orthodontic treatment. Following Dr. Rubin’s instructions and attending regular appointments can help keep your treatment progressing as planned.

During your consultation, you’ll receive a personalized treatment plan and an estimated timeline for your individual smile.

Are Braces Right for Me?

Healthy teeth can be moved at any age, making orthodontic treatment a great option for many adults. You don’t have to live with a smile you’re unhappy with simply because you didn’t have braces when you were younger.

Whether you want to improve a specific orthodontic concern or completely transform your smile, Dr. Rubin can help you understand your options and determine whether braces are right for you.

The Benefits of Adult Braces

Orthodontic treatment can offer benefits that go beyond creating a straighter smile. By improving the alignment of your teeth and bite, braces can help support better oral health and function.

Benefits of braces for adults may include:

  • A straighter, more confident smile.
  • Improved bite and dental alignment.
  • Easier brushing and flossing.
  • Better overall oral hygiene.
  • Correction of crowding, spacing, and other orthodontic concerns.
  • A personalized treatment plan designed around your goals.
