With more options, better technology, and faster treatments, adults can reach success in less than a year (and sometimes even within 6 months). It is never too late for confidence.
Braces for Adults
Adult braces have become increasingly popular in recent years as more people realize the advantages of a straighter, healthier smile and the ways it can improve not only appearance but also oral health. The results aren’t just cosmetic; properly aligned teeth make brushing and flossing more effective and reduce the risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and even jaw pain.
With modern technology, braces for adults have evolved to be more discreet and comfortable, so you can feel confident while achieving the results you’ve always wanted.
Can Adults Benefit from Orthodontic Treatment?
A resounding yes! Many adults find themselves struggling with issues like crooked teeth, bite misalignment, or even conditions that have worsened over time due to a lack of orthodontic care when they were younger.
Orthodontic treatment can enhance not only your smile but also your oral and even general health. Aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing plaque buildup, and addressing bite issues can prevent jaw strain and discomfort. Many adult patients experience a boost in confidence after treatment, making orthodontic care an investment in both your health and your self-esteem.
Main Types of Orthodontic Treatment
For adults seeking orthodontic solutions, Allen Orthodontics offers a range of options to suit different needs and preferences:
Invisalign®: Clear aligners, like Invisalign, are one of the most popular choices among adults. These removable trays fit over your teeth and gradually shift them into alignment. Invisalign is nearly invisible, making it ideal for those who want a more discreet option that doesn’t interfere with their daily appearance. Plus, you can remove them while eating or brushing, which makes maintaining oral hygiene easier.
Traditional Braces: Modern braces come in sleeker, more comfortable designs than the braces of the past. With options for ceramic (tooth-colored) brackets, traditional braces are now more discreet and effective. They’re especially beneficial for adults needing more comprehensive treatment, as they allow for precise movement of each tooth and are highly effective at treating more severe misalignment.

How it Works
1. Getting to Know You
At your first visit to our Oceanside orthodontist office, diagnostic records – typically photos of your face and teeth, as well as x-rays – to determine the best course of treatment. We use this information to develop a custom treatment plan that’s unique to your needs and goals. These records are also helpful in tracking the progress of your treatment as your teeth begin to move and shift into the optimal position.
2. Custom Treatment Plan
We’ve invested in the latest orthodontic technology so that we can provide each patient with a customized treatment plan that’s not only perfect for jaw structure and their specific goals but also their budget. After Dr. Allen evaluates your records, we’ll discuss our recommended treatment plan with you in detail, including the payment options.
No matter your age, we can help you get the smile you’ve always wanted.

FAQs About Adults
Is it too late to have braces if I am already an adult?
Adult orthodontics is becoming more common, as orthodontic treatment helps increase overall happiness level, health, and self-esteem. It’s never too late for a beautiful smile!
Can I wear braces even though I have crowns and missing teeth?
Yes, absolutely! A tooth with a crown will move just like a regular tooth, and treatment will aid in the alignment of the remaining teeth.
Will my speech be affected?
When you first start wearing Invisalign, you may notice that your speech is not as clear as it normally is. This is nothing to panic about, as you simply must get used to wearing the aligners. Just spend a bit of time speaking or singing out loud while wearing your aligners and before you know it, your speech will return to normal.
Can I still play sports with braces or aligners?
Of course! We do recommend that you use a mouthguard to protect your mouth during treatment.
Is it OK to smoke with my aligners in?
Because cigarette smoke can discolor and stain your aligners, smoking is not a good idea while wearing Invisalign.
