Orthodontic Care for Teenagers, Adults, and Every Stage in Between
Orthodontic care is suitable from adolescence through adulthood and provides benefits that go beyond aesthetics. Well-aligned teeth are easier to clean, which helps lower the risk of cavities and gum disease. A balanced bite can also ease discomfort and prevent jaw issues. With the right approach, many people see noticeable improvements in as little as six months.

- Underbite: Lower teeth extend past the upper teeth.
- Crowding: Teeth overlap or are difficult to floss.
- Crossbite: Upper and lower teeth do not meet evenly.
- Pain: Chronic headaches, jaw discomfort, or upper back and neck pain.

Orthodontic Treatment Options
Everyone’s smile is unique, so the right orthodontic solution depends on your individual needs and lifestyle. Here are some of the effective options we provide to help you achieve a healthy, well-aligned smile.
Traditional Braces
Today’s metal braces are smaller, more comfortable, and easier to clean than the bulky brackets of the past. They remain a reliable way to straighten teeth and correct complex bite issues with excellent results.
Clear Brackets
For a more discreet approach, clear brackets offer the strength of traditional braces with a subtle look that many adults prefer. These brackets blend with your teeth, so most people will hardly notice them.
Clear Aligners
Custom-made clear aligners, such as Invisalign, gently guide your teeth into the ideal position using a series of transparent trays. They fit snugly, can be removed for meals, brushing, and flossing, and are convenient for special occasions when you want a completely natural smile.
The team at All Smiles Family Dental can help you choose the orthodontic treatment that best fits your needs and supports long-term oral health.
