Most adults who need orthodontic treatment never start. Not because they do not want straighter teeth, but because the idea of walking into work or a meeting with a mouth full of metal brackets does not feel realistic. So they put it off, and the problem gets worse.
Crooked teeth, crowding, and bite issues do not resolve on their own. And the longer you wait, the more involved treatment becomes.
Our in-house clear aligners are a practical alternative designed for adults who want to straighten their teeth without disrupting their daily life. No brackets, no wires, nearly invisible when worn, and removable for eating and brushing.
At Superior Orthodontics, we offer in-house clear aligners for adults at our Eastpointe and Southfield offices. At your free exam we will look at your teeth, tell you honestly whether clear aligners are a good fit for your case, and go over exactly what treatment would cost before you decide anything.
For adults specifically, clear aligners have some practical advantages over traditional braces that make treatment easier to fit into everyday life.
Low profile. Our in-house clear aligners are nearly invisible when worn. Most people will not notice you are in treatment, which makes them a practical option for work, social settings, and everyday interactions.
Removable. You take them out to eat, drink, brush, and floss. No food restrictions, no working around brackets and wires, and no changes to your daily oral hygiene routine.
Comfortable, smooth plastic trays with no metal parts mean nothing to irritate the inside of your mouth throughout treatment.
More affordable than name brands. Because we offer in-house clear aligners rather than a name-brand system, we can keep costs lower and pass those savings directly to you.
Fewer office visits. Clear aligners typically require fewer adjustment appointments than traditional braces, which works well for adults with busy schedules.
One thing worth knowing upfront: clear aligners only work if worn consistently, at least 20 to 22 hours per day. We will give you an honest recommendation at your free exam on whether they are the right fit for your case.
Not every adult is a good candidate for clear aligners, and that is okay. We offer several treatment options at Superior Orthodontics that are practical and discreet for adults.
In-House Clear Aligners Nearly invisible, removable, and more affordable than name brand aligner systems. A good fit for mild to moderate alignment issues in adults who want flexibility during treatment.
Ceramic Braces Work the same way as metal braces but use clear or tooth colored brackets that blend in with your teeth. A practical middle ground for adults who need more significant correction but want something less visible than metal.
Lingual Braces Attached to the back of your teeth so they are completely hidden when you talk or smile. A good option for adults in professional settings who need treatment to be completely out of sight.
Metal Braces The most affordable option and effective for all types of alignment issues. A practical choice for adults who prioritize cost over visibility.

Both clear aligners and braces are effective options for adults. The right choice depends on your specific case, your budget, and how visible you want your treatment to be.
Not sure which fits your situation? We will give you a straight answer at your free exam based on what we actually see, not what costs more.
Clear aligner costs vary depending on your case. Factors like how long treatment takes and how much movement is needed will affect the overall price. The best way to get an accurate number is to come in for a free exam so we can look at your specific situation.
What we can tell you upfront is that our in-house clear aligners are more affordable than name-brand systems because there is no brand markup.
Ways we help make clear aligners more affordable:
Treatment time varies depending on the complexity of your case. Here is a general guide:
Adult treatment can sometimes take slightly longer than teen treatment since the jaw is fully developed. We will give you a realistic timeline at your free exam based on your specific situation.
One thing that directly affects treatment time is consistency. Clear aligners need to be worn at least 20 to 22 hours per day. Wearing them less than that will extend your treatment time
Finding out whether clear aligners are right for you is simple and free. At the free exam we will evaluate your teeth, go over your options, and give you a clear cost breakdown before you decide anything.
No hidden fees, no pressure to decide on the spot. Just straight answers about what treatment would cost for your situation.
