Teeth Straightening Solutions from the Teenage Years and Beyond
There are various orthodontic treatments available for all kinds of smiles, suitable for everyone in the family, from adolescents to adults. While we love helping you achieve the best smile possible, orthodontic treatment is also beneficial for your overall oral health. Misaligned teeth and an improper bite can make cleaning difficult, cause discomfort, and sometimes even lead to pain. With orthodontic treatment, these issues can be resolved in as little as 6 months.
- Overbite: when your upper teeth sit too far forward.

- Crowding: when teeth overlap or it’s hard to floss.
- Crossbite: when your bite doesn’t align properly.
- Pain: chronic headaches, jaw pain, or upper back and neck discomfort.

Orthodontic Treatment Options
There are many treatment options available, depending on your personal needs and budget. Here are a few options you might consider:
Traditional Braces
When you think of braces, you probably picture metal brackets with wires. Today’s braces are smaller, less noticeable, and just as effective as the older designs. They are easier to clean and much more comfortable.
Clear Brackets
For a more discreet option, we offer clear brackets, which are popular among adult patients. These braces combine conventional orthodontics with a more subtle appearance. At a quick glance, no one will notice you are wearing braces.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners, such as Invisalign, have become very popular. These transparent trays gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. They fit snugly and precisely and can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing, or for special occasions like meetings or dates.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ideally, orthodontic treatment occurs in younger patients before most adult teeth have arrived. If you’re a parent, we recommend bringing your teenager in for a consultation. But don’t worry! Orthodontic treatment options are available for adults as well. It’s never too late to improve your smile.
Braces do not hurt when they are first applied. After your teeth begin to shift, some discomfort may be felt. Most patients describe the sensation as more annoying than painful. If you experience any pain or discomfort, let us know! We can provide solutions to make your treatment as comfortable as possible.
Avoid foods that might damage your braces, such as candy apples, caramel, or corn on the cob. It’s also best to avoid foods that are hard to clean out of braces, such as caramel, gum, and popcorn. Additionally, sugary or acidic foods are harder to clean off your teeth. If you have clear braces, be cautious of foods like beets, curry, and Kraft dinner, as they can cause staining.
