Adult Orthodontics

It’s Never Too Late to Straighten Your Smile

Orthodontic care isn’t just for kids and teens—millions of adults are choosing to improve their smiles, and at Utah Orthodontic Care, we make it accessible, discreet, and affordable. Whether you’re considering braces for the first time or returning to treatment later in life, our adult orthodontic options are designed with your lifestyle in mind.

From corporate professionals to busy parents and retirees, we treat adults of all ages who want straighter teeth, improved function, and the confidence that comes with a healthier, more attractive smile. And thanks to today’s modern orthodontic solutions—like clear aligners and low-profile braces—there’s no need to feel self-conscious during treatment.

Orthodontic Treatment Options for Adults

Our team offers a variety of modern treatment options customized for adult patients. After your free consultation, we’ll design a plan that fits your goals, budget, and lifestyle.

Here are the most common options:

1. Clear Aligners (Invisalign)

Nearly invisible, comfortable, and removable—Invisalign for Adults is a favorite choice for working professionals or anyone who wants a subtle way to straighten teeth without brackets or wires.

2. Ceramic Braces

Clear or tooth-colored ceramic brackets blend into your smile for a discreet look while offering the reliability of traditional braces.

3. Traditional Metal Braces

Today’s metal braces are lighter, more comfortable, and smaller than ever. They remain a highly effective option, especially for adults with more complex cases.

The Health and Confidence Benefits of Adult Braces

Choosing to straighten your teeth as an adult isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s an investment in your overall well-being. A properly aligned bite can relieve physical discomfort and improve quality of life, while a confident smile can positively influence every interaction, both personally and professionally.

Orthodontic treatment for adults can:

  • Reduce jaw pain and pressure from TMJ disorders
  • Prevent uneven wear of teeth
  • Improve sleep and breathing patterns in some cases
  • Make brushing and flossing more effective
  • Increase self-confidence in social and professional settings
  • Support better digestion by improving chewing function

“Great orthodontics! I got my braces at UOC and they’ve been so amazing! First appointment is free, they’ll evaluate your teeth and talk to you about braces option options and prices/ plans.My dental insurance did not cover braces for adults ( I chose not to when I made my plan ) and even if I switched my plan I don’t think it would be a nice affordable plan like UOC offered me with monthly payments … I’m happy with them! They were always nice, friendly and flexible with schedules! Recommend it 100%!”

“I love this office. The doctor is fun with the kids, very friendly and approachable. The staff is typically very easy to work with and any time we have any question or concern they have been quick to make it right with us. We had a billing hiccup and Lauren was incredibly understanding and made the process to fix it easy. As a lower income family with multiple kids needing orthodontic work, this has been a huge weight off my shoulders. I cannot recommend them enough.”

FAQs About Adult Orthodontics

Absolutely not. Healthy teeth can be moved at any age. We treat patients in their 20s, 30s, 50s, and even 70s.

Treatment typically lasts between 12–24 months, depending on the complexity of your case and your goals.

You may experience some pressure or tightness after adjustments, but most patients find today’s braces and aligners far more comfortable than expected.

That’s very common. Whether your retainer wasn’t worn or changes occurred over time, we can help you realign your teeth using retainers, aligners, or limited re-treatment options.

Start with a free consultation. We’ll review your goals, examine your bite, and explain all your options clearly—no pressure, just honest guidance.
