Why Adults Choose Orthodontic Treatment

Orthodontics is about more than aesthetics. Many adults seek treatment to improve their oral health, confidence, and overall quality of life. Straight teeth are easier to clean, function better, and reduce strain on the jaw and surrounding muscles.

Common reasons adults seek treatment:

  • Shifting teeth or bite changes over time
  • Jaw pain or TMJ issues
  • Relapse after childhood braces
  • Preparing for cosmetic dental work or implants
  • Boosting confidence personally and professionally

No matter your reason, we’re here to help — with modern options that fit your schedule and comfort level.

Treatment Options for Adults

We understand that adults often prefer low-profile and convenient solutions. That’s why we offer several discreet treatment types, including:

CLEAR ALIGNERS (INVISALIGN & ANGEL ALIGNERS)

Nearly invisible and fully removable, clear aligners are a favorite for adults. Eat, brush, floss, and attend events with confidence while working toward your ideal smile.

CLEAR BRACES

Tooth-colored ceramic brackets offer a less noticeable alternative to metal braces, with the same reliable results — ideal for moderate or complex cases.

LOW-PROFILE METAL BRACES

Today’s metal braces are smaller, more comfortable, and faster-acting than ever. For adults needing precision correction, they remain an excellent option.

At West County Orthodontics, we will work closely with you to select the best solution based on your goals, bite alignment, lifestyle, and budget.
