Orthodontic treatment is no longer just for teens. Many adults seek care to improve breathing, relieve jaw tension, address snoring, correct relapse from previous treatment, or finally achieve a healthier smile that feels stable.
With today’s technology, we can move teeth efficiently and discreetly while addressing the structural issues that impact long-term stability. Whether your goal is improved comfort, facial balance, or confidence in your appearance, our team creates customized plans that respect your time, lifestyle, and health.
For adults with a narrow upper jaw or restricted airway, MARPE offers a non-surgical solution to expand the palate and improve function. Using small temporary implants, this technique gently widens the upper jaw, increasing nasal airway volume and creating more room for proper tongue posture.
Benefits of MARPE include:
Improved nasal breathing and oxygen flow
Enhanced smile width and facial symmetry
Greater space for alignment without extractions (in many cases)
Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs) make complex movements possible without surgery. These small, comfortable anchors allow precise control over tooth movement, helping us reposition teeth and bites with greater accuracy and stability.
TADs are especially effective for:
Correcting open bites or asymmetry
Creating space for crowded teeth
Reducing treatment time
Supporting non-surgical solutions in complex adult cases
Lingual Braces and Clear Aligners
We understand many adults prefer subtle treatment options. For working professionals or patients with aesthetic preferences, we offer two discreet systems:
Lingual Braces: Placed behind the teeth for complete invisibility
Clear Aligners
Custom, removable trays (such as Invisalign®) for flexible, esthetic care
Both options allow you to maintain your natural appearance while making meaningful improvements in alignment, bite, and function.
