Between work meetings, parenting, and everything in between, you need a smile solution that fits the life you’re already living, not one that asks you to put it on hold.

Why More Adults Are Choosing Braces Today

Straighter teeth, better function, real confidence, at any age.

Orthodontic treatment isn’t just for teenagers anymore. Today, roughly one in four orthodontic patients nationwide is an adult, and that number keeps growing as braces technology becomes smaller, smoother, and more comfortable than ever before.

Adult braces at Boone Reeves Orthodontics give you the same precision and control that have made braces one of the most trusted, well-studied orthodontic treatments available. For complex bite issues, significant crowding, or alignment concerns that clear aligners alone can’t fully correct, braces remain the gold standard, especially for adults who want a fixed, no-guesswork path to results.

Improved oral health

Braces correct crowding, spacing, and bite issues that can make brushing and flossing harder, helping reduce your long-term risk of decay and gum disease.

Better bite function

Misaligned bites can contribute to uneven wear, jaw discomfort, and strain over time. Braces help bring your bite into proper, lasting balance.

A confidence you can see

There's real research behind it: patients with straighter, healthier-looking smiles often report feeling more confident in professional and social settings.

Predictable, low-maintenance progress

Because braces work continuously, with no trays to remember or lose, they're an especially reliable option for busy adults who want consistent progress without added daily decisions.

Modern Braces Built for Professional Life

Discreet, durable, and designed around your day-to-day.

We understand that the concerns adults bring to orthodontic treatment are different from those of a teenager. You’re not worried about fitting in at school; you’re thinking about client meetings, video calls, first impressions, and how treatment fits into a schedule that’s already full. That’s exactly what we planned for.

Low-Profile Metal Braces

Today's metal brackets are dramatically smaller and smoother than the braces many adults remember from their own teenage years. They sit closer to the tooth, feel less bulky against the lips and cheeks, and deliver the same precise, reliable results braces have always been known for, just with a far more comfortable, modern feel.

Ceramic (Clear) Braces

For adults who want the predictability of braces with significantly less visibility, ceramic braces use tooth-colored brackets that blend naturally with your smile. They function just like traditional braces, offering the same level of control over complex tooth movement, while staying far less noticeable in professional and social settings.

Clear Aligners, When the Fit Is Right

Braces aren't the only path to a straighter smile. For adults with mild to moderate alignment concerns, our clear aligners for adults are a nearly invisible, removable option. During your free consultation, we'll give you an honest recommendation, braces, ceramic braces, or aligners, based on what will actually get you the best result, not what's easiest to sell.

What Adult Braces at Boone Reeves Orthodontics Can Treat

Dr. Boone and Dr. Reeves are trained to address the full range of orthodontic concerns adult patients commonly bring to our Bethany office, including:

  • Crowded or overlapping teeth that may have shifted over time
  • Gaps or excessive spacing between teeth
  • Overbite, where the upper front teeth extend too far over the lower
  • Underbite, where the lower jaw sits in front of the upper jaw
  • Crossbite, where the upper and lower teeth don’t align side to side
  • An open bite, where the upper and lower teeth don’t make proper contact
  • Relapse from teenage orthodontic treatment, where teeth have gradually shifted with age
  • Complex bite and alignment concerns that benefit from the precision only braces provide

If you don’t see your specific concern listed here, don’t worry. Every consultation includes a thorough, judgment-free evaluation, and we’ll explain exactly what we see and what your options look like, in plain language.

When Adults Need a Little More Than Braces Alone

In some cases, adult patients benefit from gently widening the upper jaw to improve how the bite fits or to create the space needed for proper alignment. This type of treatment isn’t common for adult patients, but when it’s the right fit, we’ll walk you through exactly what it involves, why it’s recommended, and what to expect, so nothing about your treatment plan ever feels like a surprise.

Your Adult Braces Journey, Step by Step

  • Transparency is part of how we practice. Before treatment ever begins, you’ll know exactly what’s ahead, from your first visit to the day your braces come off.
  • Every relationship at Boone Reeves Orthodontics starts with a complimentary consultation. Dr. Boone or Dr. Reeves will conduct a thorough evaluation of your teeth, bite, and jaw, and talk through your goals, timeline, and budget honestly.
  • No two adult smiles, or schedules, are the same. We’ll build a treatment plan around your specific bite, goals, and lifestyle, and walk you through projected timelines before you commit to anything.
  • Placing braces is typically a straightforward appointment of about 60 to 90 minutes. We’ll bond each bracket carefully and thread the wire to begin guiding your teeth into alignment. Mild pressure or tenderness in the first few days is normal and usually fades quickly.
  • You’ll return every 6 to 10 weeks so we can evaluate your progress and make precise wire adjustments. We design appointment times around real adult schedules, including early morning and lunch-hour options whenever possible.

Once treatment is complete, we custom-fit you with a retainer and explain exactly how to wear it to protect your results for years to come. Your investment deserves to last.

Frequently Asked Questions About Braces for Adults

Not at all. As long as your teeth and gums are healthy, there's no upper age limit for orthodontic treatment. We've helped adults in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond achieve straighter, healthier smiles. The only real difference is that adult treatment plans are built around your bone structure and any past dental work, something we account for during your evaluation.
Most adult patients complete treatment in 12 to 24 months, though timelines vary depending on the complexity of your case and how your teeth respond. Because adult bone structure is fully developed, some movements can take a bit longer than they would for a teenager, but we'll give you a realistic projected timeline at your consultation, not a guess.
It depends on which option you choose. Low-profile metal braces are smaller and less bulky than older designs, while ceramic braces are far less visible and blend naturally with your smile. We'll walk you through every option during your free consultation so you can choose what feels right for your workplace and comfort level.
Cost depends on the complexity of your case and the type of braces you choose. We believe in transparent pricing with no surprises, and we offer flexible payment plans along with Medicaid acceptance, so a confident smile stays within reach. We'll provide a clear cost breakdown before you commit to any treatment.
Adult teeth can sometimes respond a bit more slowly to movement than a teenager's, but the discomfort itself is similar: mild pressure or tenderness for a few days after placement and after adjustments, typically manageable with over-the-counter pain relief and softer foods.
Absolutely, and it's more common than you might think. Teeth naturally shift over time, especially if a retainer wasn't worn consistently after initial treatment. Many of our adult patients are returning for exactly this reason, and we'll evaluate your case honestly to recommend the most efficient path back to a straight, confident smile.
