Modern braces, made for adult life.

More adults are getting braces than ever, and today's options look nothing like what you remember. Tooth-colored ceramic brackets and low-profile metal blend in, so you can keep smiling through meetings and everything else.

Who it's for: adults dealing with crowding, spacing, or a bite that's shifted over the years, including anyone who skipped braces as a teen. A straighter bite also makes brushing and flossing easier.

Which Braces Are Best for Adults?

There is no single best option for every adult. The right choice comes down to how much correction your bite needs, how visible you want treatment to be, and what fits your monthly budget. Here is how the three options we offer compare.

  • checkOur sturdiest and most affordable option.
  • checkHandles crowding, spacing and bite concerns of nearly any complexity.

Not sure which one is right for you?

That is what the free exam is for. It is a $99 value, includes 3D imaging, and Dr. Kole-James will review your bite and explain which of these options can reach your goals. Treatment starts from $188/month with 0% in-house financing for qualifying patients.

Adult Braces Questions

What adults ask most before starting treatment.

Am I too old for braces? expand_more
Healthy teeth can be moved at almost any age, and adults make up a growing share of orthodontic patients. The best way to know if braces are a good fit for you is a free consultation, where we review your teeth and bite in person.
Will braces be obvious at work? expand_more
Tooth-colored ceramic brackets and low-profile metal options are designed to be discreet. We'll walk you through how each option looks so you can choose what feels right for your professional life.
How much do adult braces cost? expand_more
Plans start from $188/month with $800 down · 0% in-house financing options for qualifying patients, and we accept most major insurance. You'll receive a clear cost breakdown at your free initial exam ($99 value) before committing to anything.
How long does treatment take? expand_more
Every smile is different. Adult treatment commonly ranges from 12 to 24 months, but we'll give you a more accurate estimate based on your individual needs during your free exam.
Which type of braces is best for adults? expand_more
It depends on your bite and your priorities. Metal braces handle the widest range of correction and cost the least. Ceramic braces do the same work with tooth-colored brackets that stay subtle at work. Clear aligners are removable and suit mild to moderate cases. At your free exam we will show you which of the three can reach your goals.
Are ceramic braces as effective as metal braces? expand_more
Ceramic braces move teeth with the same brackets-and-wire approach as metal ones, so for many adult cases the plan looks similar. Metal remains the sturdier choice for the most complex bite correction. Your free exam will confirm which one suits your case.
