Adult Orthodontics
For many adults, the thought of having orthodontic treatment with metal braces is enough to discourage them from getting the smile they want.
However, today’s orthodontic treatment options offer a variety of clear and tooth colored braces and appliances like Invisalign that are comfortable, aesthetic, and customized to meet your needs.

Either way, at OX Orthodontix®, our doctors are experienced providers of adult braces and Invisalign.
You may want to straighten your teeth for aesthetic reasons, or your smile may be more than a cosmetic concern. You’re never too old to look great and feel confident about your smile. Truly. Orthodontic treatment has become increasingly popular among adults.
More Adults Are Seeking Orthodontic Treatment
Adults seeking orthodontic treatment are increasing. 20% of orthodontic patients nationally are adults. This trend is likely due to the increased focus on oral health and a desire to maintain a healthy, beautiful smile. Additionally, technological advancements have made treatments more effective, efficient, and comfortable. Our orthodontic practices now offer flexible payment plans with fewer office visits to make treatments more accessible for adults.

Appearance OF Braces
While traditional braces have been the only choice in the past, tooth colored, new clear braces, and clear aligners are becoming increasingly popular as they offer a more discreet and subtle look. The look and convenience of these braces and aligners is a bonus, as they require less maintenance than other types of braces. Furthermore, these adult tooth straightening choices give patients even more freedom to express themselves with their choice of different braces or aligners.
Most of our adult patients come to us for Invisalign treatment. The adjustment period is short, and the appliance is clear. This means Invisalign clear aligner treatment is optimal for adults who favor an almost invisible appliance while we work on their ideal smile and bite.
Removable
Take out your aligners to eat, drink, brush and floss. No wire or braces means unrestricted eating, nowhere for food to get caught, and nothing to break.
Comfortable
The smooth, closely fitted trays don’t irritate as wires or brackets can. So keep up with your activities without worries or changes in routine.
Easy
Fewer appointments are needed since you switch to the next tray instead of having an in-office braces adjustment. And the appointments you do have take less time.
