ProviderIt's Never Too Late to Discover Your Brightest Smile
For many adults, orthodontic treatment with braces provides a welcome solution to tooth and jaw alignment issues they may have experienced since childhood.
If you’ve been considering orthodontic treatment as an adult but feel unsure because of how braces might look, we encourage you to think again. Today, there are more subtle options – translucent (ceramic) braces that let you straighten your teeth with a more discreet appearance.
At our i-Orthodontics clinics, we genuinely love how all types of braces look. When you embrace them, they can even become a fun and unique part of your personal style during treatment.
Of course, the benefits of braces go beyond appearance – especially for adults. Let’s take a look at some of those below.
Orthodontic Care is for Everyone
It’s never too late to start your orthodontic journey! Getting treatment as an adult can address long-standing issues and make a big difference – not just in your smile, but in your confidence and overall quality of life.

With the availability of orthodontic treatment with clear aligners like Invisalign, you may be wondering why certain adults choose braces instead. Here are a few reasons.
Versatility
Braces offer the flexibility to treat a wide range of orthodontic issues, from mild tooth misalignment to more complex bite issues.
Efficiency
Braces can apply a more consistent force than aligners, which can be removed from the mouth. That’s a big plus for some individuals who want to take a direct approach and finish their treatment as efficiently as possible.
Compliance
Because braces are fixed to your teeth, there’s no taking them out or forgetting to wear them – making it easier to stay on track with your treatment plan.

Orthodontic braces traditionally straighten teeth by using a combination of brackets, elastic bands, and wires.
However, today's braces have evolved from the bulky metal devices you may remember from years past. They are now more streamlined and comfortable than ever.
