Adult Treatment

When it comes to achieving a beautiful, confident smile, there’s truly no age limit. Braces aren’t just for kids anymore—teeth can be safely and effectively aligned at any age, as long as the gums and bone structure are healthy.

Orthodontic treatment later in life can do more than enhance your smile—it can boost confidence and improve long-term oral health. Crooked teeth and bite problems may contribute to gum and bone loss, tooth decay, abnormal wear, headaches, and jaw joint (TMJ/TMD) discomfort. Correcting these issues helps protect your smile for years to come.

The good news is that today’s orthodontic technology makes treatment more comfortable and convenient than ever. Modern techniques often reduce discomfort, shorten treatment time, and require fewer visits. You may also have flexible treatment options, including Invisalign® clear aligners or discreet ceramic braces.

During your initial examination, Dr. Tyan will carefully evaluate your facial balance, bite, health of gum tissue, and orthodontic concerns. He will then recommend a personalized treatment plan designed specifically for your needs.

At this visit, we’ll also review the expected treatment timeline and provide an estimate of costs.

Many of our patients are adults—and they’ll be the first to tell you it’s never too late to invest in your greatest asset: your smile.
