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.
Why More Adults Are Choosing Orthodontics
More than 1 in 4 orthodontic patients today are adults. Whether it’s addressing bite problems left untreated in childhood or making cosmetic improvements for career or personal reasons, adult patients are now empowered by flexible and aesthetic treatment options.
Adult orthodontic care can help correct:
- Crowded, rotated, or gapped teeth
- Overbites, underbites, and crossbites
- Jaw misalignment and facial asymmetry
- Speech issues or mouth breathing
- Headaches and jaw pain associated with bite imbalance (TMJ)
- Worn-down teeth caused by grinding or misalignment
Treatment is more than cosmetic—it improves long-term oral health, makes teeth easier to clean, reduces the risk of gum disease, and enhances overall bite function.
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.”
