Why Adult Orthodontics Matters

Adults have unique orthodontic needs and benefits. Proper alignment doesn’t just improve aesthetics—it improves long-term oral health, function and comfort. Misaligned teeth or bite issues in adulthood can contribute to gum disease, tooth wear, jaw pain and oral hygiene challenges.

Here’s what adult orthodontic care can do for you:

  • Improve brushing and flossing access, reducing risk of cavities and gum disease.
  • Correct bite problems that cause jaw pain, uneven wear or discomfort.
  • Boost confidence with a straighter, more polished smile—ideal for personal and professional life.
  • Provide modern treatment options tailored for busy adults, including discreet choices such as clear aligners or less-visible braces.

At One Orthodontics, we believe it’s never too late to invest in your smile—and we offer treatment options that fit adult schedules, priorities and aesthetics.

Our Adult Treatment Options

We offer a full suite of adult-oriented orthodontic services:

In addition, if you developed orthodontic concerns earlier in life or wish to revisit treatment, you may find our Early Orthodontics and Adult Orthodontics pages educational.

What to Expect: Adult Treatment Process

  1. Consultation & Evaluation – We’ll review your dental and medical history, evaluate alignment and bite, and determine the best adult-appropriate plan.
  2. Treatment Planning – You’ll receive a personalized plan outlining your options (braces vs aligners), timeline, expected outcomes and cost.
  3. Appliance Placement – Whether you choose braces or aligners, we provide step-by-step guidance for your lifestyle.
  4. Monitoring & Adjustments – Adult treatment may include fewer visits but attentive care to track progress and comfort.
  5. Completion & Retention – After your active phase, we’ll transition to ongoing retention (see Retainers page) to secure your smile long-term.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Am I too old for orthodontic treatment?

Not at all. Orthodontic treatment for adults is common and highly effective regardless of age.

Will treatment interfere with my work or social life?

We tailor solutions for adult lifestyles—discreet appliance options, flexible visits and clear communication.

How long will treatment take?

It depends on complexity, appliance type and your goals—many adult cases finish in approximately 12-24 months, though individual times vary.

Do I always need surgery or invasive procedures?

No. Surgery is only required for certain skeletal or jaw issues. Many adults are treated with braces or aligners alone, but in complex cases we may refer to our Surgical Orthodontics page.

What if I had braces before and my teeth shifted again?

That’s common. We provide “retreatment” plans especially for adults and guide you through retention on our Retainers page.

Will insurance or financing cover adult orthodontics?

Many adult plans include orthodontic benefits; we also offer flexible financing to fit your budget.

What our patients say

Dr. Mo is hands down the best orthodontist I've ever met! I came to him with a crossbite and started my Invisalign journey feeling a little nervous, but he made the entire process smooth, clear, and incredibly reassuring. From the very first consultation to the final aligner, Dr. Mo was always patient, professional, and detail- oriented. He explained every step of the treatment in a way that made me feel confident and informed. Thanks to his expertise, my teeth are now perfectly aligned, and I couldn't be happier with the results!

The front desk team at this clinic is also fantastic -always friendly, welcoming, and efficient with scheduling and reminders. The assistant who worked alongside Dr. Mo was great too-very gentle, organized, and made sure I was comfortable at every visit.

If you're considering Invisalign or any orthodontic treatment, I cannot recommend Dr. Mo enough. He truly changed my smile, and I'm beyond grateful for the care I received at this clinic!
Mohammed Al-Zubaidi
We have had a fantastic experience with Dr. Mo and his team! I have three kids who were in braces/invisalign at the same time so I felt like I lived at his office. The staff was always friendly and easy to work with, and Dr. Mo was wonderful.

Dr. Osman and his staff have been extremely professional. I was seen in a timely manner and felt as though he really listened to my concerns and gave me insight based on what was in my best interest. He was honest, explained the results I should expect, and made me feel comfortable. Highly recommend!
