Adult Orthodontic Care

It's never too late for Orthodontic Treatment

Age is no barrier when it comes to achieving a straight and beautiful smile at Greater Chattanooga Orthodontics. Did you know that 1 in every 5 patients receiving orthodontic care is an adult? Whether you missed out on treatment as a child or require further correction as an adult, our expert team is here to help.

We understand that many adults have concerns about the appearance of braces. That's why we offer Invisalign, the invisible alternative to traditional braces. Using clear removable aligners, custom-made through advanced 3D imaging, we can discreetly align your teeth. For more complex cases, we also offer clear ceramic brackets as a metal-free option. Contact us today to learn more or schedule your free smile exam.

Benefits of Adult Orthodontics

Adults can benefit from orthodontic treatment in many ways. These include:

• Align the teeth to create a more aesthetic and beautiful smile
• Correct relapse after previous orthodontic treatment due to lack of long-term retainer wear
• Improve the ability to brush and floss, especially for crowded or overlapping lower front teeth
• Create a better or more comfortable bite and ability to chew
• Address missing teeth
• Close spaces between the teeth
• Reduce excessive wear on the teeth due to grinding or poor bite
• Jaw surgery to correct the discrepancy between the upper and lower jaws
  

Your Comfort is Priority

Thanks to modern advancements, our appliances are smaller and more comfortable, applying gentle pressure with titanium technology for efficient tooth movement. Plus, our adjustment intervals are spaced out to every 8-10 weeks, minimizing any discomfort.
