Adult Braces

There is a common misconception that braces are just for teenagers. The reality? According to the American Association of Orthodontists, one in five orthodontic patients is an adult.

At Nurture Kids Dentistry, we treat many parents who have decided it is finally their turn. Whether you want to fix a specific cosmetic issue, correct a bite problem that is causing jaw pain, or simply want the confidence of a perfect smile, we have options that fit your professional lifestyle.

Why Choose Braces Over Invisalign?

While clear aligners are popular, many adults still choose fixed braces. Here is why:

• Complex Cases: For severe rotation, deep overbites, or vertical issues, traditional braces often provide more precise control and a better final result than aligners.
• Zero Compliance Stress: With Invisalign, you have to remember to wear the trays for 22 hours a day and remove them for every meal. With braces, they are bonded to your teeth—you never have to worry about losing them or forgetting to put them back in. The treatment works 24/7 without you lifting a finger.
• Speed: In certain complex scenarios, fixed braces can sometimes achieve the desired result faster than aligners.

The Professional Choice: Ceramic (Clear) Braces

Worried about looking like a teenager in a board meeting? We offer Ceramic Braces as an aesthetic alternative to metal.

• Subtle Appearance: These brackets are made of translucent or tooth-colored ceramic material that blends seamlessly with your enamel.
• Discreet Wires: We can use frosted or tooth-colored wires to make the braces even less noticeable.
• Effective: They work exactly the same way as metal braces—just with a much lower visual profile.
