For Adults

Orthodontic Treatment for Adults

Orthodontic treatment is not just for children and teens. Many adults choose to improve their smile later in life, whether for health, function, or confidence.

It is never too late to make a change.

Why Adults Consider Treatment

Adults often seek orthodontic care to:

• Correct crowding or bite issues
• Address shifting that occurred after past treatment
• Improve long-term oral health
• Feel more confident in professional or social settings

Teeth naturally move over time. Even patients who had braces years ago may notice changes. That is common and completely treatable.

Treatment Options

We offer modern treatment options designed to fit into adult life:

Traditional Metal Braces
A reliable and highly effective option for comprehensive correction.

Clear Aligner Therapy, including Invisalign®
A discreet and flexible option that allows for easier brushing, flossing, and day-to-day convenience.

During your consultation, we will review your goals and determine which option is best suited to your needs.

How Adult Treatment May Differ

Because adult jaw growth is complete, treatment planning is slightly different than in growing children. In some cases, collaboration with other dental specialists may be part of a comprehensive approach.

Adults may also have restorations, gum recession, or previous dental work that requires careful coordination. Every treatment plan is designed with these factors in mind.

What to Expect

At your consultation, we take a digital scan so you can see your teeth and bite clearly on screen. We will discuss timing, options, and whether treatment can begin the same day.

From start to finish, Dr. Lindsay Stearn personally oversees your care.

Orthodontic treatment as an adult is an investment in both health and confidence. When carefully planned, the results are long-lasting and impactful.
