Adult Orthodontics

Adult Orthodontics in Orlando, FL

It’s never too late to get the smile you have always wanted. In fact, 1 out of every 3 of our patients is an adult! Orthodontic treatment has never been easier since we invest in state-of-the-art, efficient brackets that are the most polished braces available, ensuring a maximum level of comfort.

We have experience treating people from age 8 to 88, and our Orlando orthodontists stay up to date on all the latest techniques so we can provide options no matter what conditions are present in the mouth (spaces between teeth, missing teeth, severe crowding, etc.). In fact, Dr. Moopen is a member of the Central Florida Occlusal Study Club, which is a specialized association of general dentists and dental specialists who work together to plan treatment for complex cases. Even in cases that are simple, our doctors spend their time planning details from the beginning, ensuring that treatment progresses as smoothly as possible.

Schedule Consultation

Adults get braces and other forms of orthodontic treatment for many reasons. At AM Orthodontics, our patients vary from those who had braces as a child and are looking to touch up their smile to those who are seeking orthodontic treatment for the first time as adults.
For adults seeking orthodontic treatment for the first time, here are some factors that may lead to this decision:
They may have difficulty chewing due to a bad bite or malocclusion, where teeth don’t align properly.
Their teeth are too crowded or spaced too widely apart, which can lead to greater tooth decay or gum disease.
They want a healthier mouth and a more confident smile.
Many adults have already had traditional metal braces in the past and would now like to wear customized, comfortable, and even invisible appliances.
Our Orlando orthodontist office offers many types of braces to fit your lifestyle and your needs. In addition to metal braces, we offer invisible braces options such as:
Clear braces
Lingual braces (also known as behind-the-teeth braces)
Clear aligners
Having straight teeth helps to keep your teeth healthy. If your teeth are in the correct position, they are easier to floss and brush. Being able to properly clean your teeth means that you are less likely to have gum disease.
It’s a confidence builder. The right orthodontic treatment will give you a better quality of life and help bring confidence to your smile.
Untreated problems can get worse. Leaving teeth uncorrected can lead to several long-term problems, including uneven wear on teeth.
