Now I can have the smile I always wanted”

An increasing number of adults are visiting Orthodontists. Today’s braces and aligners are higher tech than ever before, and often invisible. And research shows that having straight teeth can help with your social life and your career.

Today, adults in their 20s, 30s, 40s and older are opting for modern, comfortable, more discreet braces. ARCH Orthodontics even has patients over 80 years old.

One 40-ish patient whose three teens were ARCH patients, decided to do something about her own crooked teeth that made her self-conscious about her smile. Dr. Chase said her top teeth were “perfect,” but he recommended Invisalign for the lowers. She liked the fact that the aligners were virtually invisible and removable when she ate, brushed flossed or exercised. Dr. Chavez monitored her progress and she got a new set of aligners about every two weeks for a year. Often today’s treatment times are shorter and fewer office visits are needed.

At the end of her year of treatment, she proudly showed off her new smile: “Now I have the smile I always wanted.”
