Why Adults Should Consider Orthodontic Treatment
More adults than ever are choosing orthodontic treatment, and it’s not just for cosmetic reasons. Orthodontics can improve bite function, prevent future dental issues, and support better oral hygiene. With today’s advanced options—like clear aligners and low-profile braces—there’s never been a better time to take that first step.
Benefits of adult orthodontic treatment include:
- Enhanced appearance and confidence
- Correction of bite problems and jaw discomfort
- Prevention of uneven wear, gum issues, and tooth decay
- Easier brushing and flossing for long-term health
- Personalized treatment designed for adult needs
You’re never too old to invest in your smile—and we make it easier than you think.
Common Orthodontic Issues in Adults
As we age, teeth can shift—even if you had braces as a teen. That’s why many adults seek orthodontic care to fix or improve issues such as:
- Crowded or overlapping teeth
- Gaps or spacing
- Overbites, underbites, or crossbites
- Teeth that have shifted due to missing teeth or grinding
- Jaw tension or bite discomfort
Whether you’re dealing with long-standing concerns or recent changes, our team can create a personalized plan to restore balance and function.
Best Treatment Options for Adults in NYC
At iSmile Orthodontics, we offer a full range of options tailored specifically for adult patients. Our goal is to deliver great results with as little disruption to your daily life as possible.
Traditional Braces
Today’s metal braces are smaller, sleeker, and more comfortable than ever before. They’re a reliable option for complex cases and provide precise control over tooth movement. For adults who want a more subtle look, we also offer ceramic (clear) braces that blend with your natural tooth color.
Invisalign
Invisalign clear aligners are a popular choice for adults seeking a discreet, removable option. Custom-made using advanced 3D imaging, Invisalign fits seamlessly into your life—no brackets, no wires, and fewer office visits. You can remove them to eat, brush, and for important events, making them ideal for professionals and busy adults alike.
We’ll help you decide which treatment fits your goals, lifestyle, and budget during your consultation.
Life with Braces or Invisalign as an Adult
You may be wondering how orthodontic treatment will fit into your everyday routine—and the good news is, it’s easier than you think.
- With Braces: You’ll adjust to minor dietary changes and learn simple tips for brushing around brackets. Most adults quickly adapt and see progress within weeks.
- With Invisalign: Just remove your aligners for meals and cleanings, and wear them 20–22 hours per day. Most people won’t even notice you’re in treatment.
Whether you’re in the office, at home, or traveling, both options are designed to keep life moving with minimal disruption.
