Adult Orthodontics

Orthodontics for Adults

More adults than ever are choosing orthodontic treatment, and it's easy to understand why. Whether you're addressing issues from childhood, dealing with teeth that have shifted over time, or simply ready to finally achieve the smile you've always wanted, adult orthodontics can transform both your appearance and your oral health.

At Argyle Orthodontics, we specialize in providing discreet, efficient orthodontic care designed specifically for adult lifestyles. Dr. Dyer understands the unique needs and concerns of adult patients and offers treatment options that fit seamlessly into your professional and personal life.

Why Choose Orthodontic Treatment as an Adult?

Improved Confidence

A beautiful smile can significantly boost your confidence in both professional and social situations. Many adult patients report feeling more self-assured and willing to smile freely after treatment.

Better Oral Health

Straight teeth are easier to clean and maintain, reducing your risk of cavities, gum disease, and tooth loss. Correcting bite issues can also reduce excessive wear on tooth enamel and decrease the risk of TMJ problems.

Enhanced Facial Aesthetics

Orthodontic treatment can improve facial balance and harmony, often creating a more youthful appearance by properly supporting the lips and facial structure.

Adult-Friendly Treatment Options

Invisalign Clear Aligners

Our most popular option for adult patients, Invisalign offers virtually invisible treatment that won't interfere with your professional image. The aligners are removable, allowing you to eat, drink, and maintain your oral hygiene routine without restriction.

Ceramic Braces

For cases that require the precision of traditional braces, ceramic brackets offer a more subtle alternative. Tooth-colored brackets blend naturally with your teeth for a less noticeable appearance.

Traditional Braces

Modern metal braces are smaller and more comfortable than ever. They remain the most effective option for complex cases and often achieve results faster than other methods.

What Makes Adult Treatment Different?

Adult orthodontics does have some unique considerations. Adult bones are fully developed, which may require slightly longer treatment times in some cases. Adults may also have previous dental work like crowns or bridges that need to be considered in treatment planning. Some adults have experienced bone loss from gum disease that must be addressed before orthodontic treatment.

Dr. Dyer takes all these factors into account when creating your customized treatment plan. We often work closely with your general dentist to ensure comprehensive care that addresses all your oral health needs.

Convenient, Professional Care

We understand that adult patients have busy schedules and professional obligations. Our office offers flexible scheduling, efficient appointments, and minimal disruption to your daily routine. We also provide clear communication about treatment expectations, timelines, and costs so you can make informed decisions.

Investment in Yourself

Orthodontic treatment is an investment in your health, confidence, and quality of life. We offer flexible payment plans and 0% financing options to make treatment affordable. Many adult patients find that the improved confidence and oral health benefits far outweigh the time and financial investment.

It's Never Too Late

Age is not a barrier to orthodontic treatment. Healthy teeth can be moved at any age, and we've successfully treated patients ranging from their 20s to their 70s. If you've been considering orthodontics but thought you were too old, now is the perfect time to schedule a consultation and discover what's possible for your smile.
