Why adults choose treatment

Healthier teeth. More confident smiles.

Many adults come to us because they understand how alignment affects long-term health — and they want to feel better about their smile. Common reasons include:

A bad bite that makes teeth fit together incorrectly
Crowding or spacing that makes teeth harder to keep clean
Jaw pain or pressure related to crooked teeth
Wanting a healthier mouth and a more confident smile

Care designed for adults

Adult treatment is a little different.

Unlike children and teens, adult jawbones have finished growing. Dr. Roeder plans around that — and around a few other things adults often bring with them.

Gum and bone health

Adults are more likely to have gum recession or bone loss. Straighter teeth are easier to clean, which helps protect gums long-term.

Worn or missing teeth

Teeth wear and shift over time, and gaps can cause neighbors to tilt. Orthodontics can restore a healthier bite.

Unfinished treatment

Many adults started treatment as a teen but never finished — or skipped retainers. It’s not too late to get the result you wanted.

Discreet options

Treatment that works with your schedule.

Most adults choose an option that’s comfortable, low-profile, and easy to fit into a busy week.

Questions & answers

Adult orthodontics questions

Am I too old for braces or aligners?

No. Teeth don’t know how old they are — if your teeth and gums are healthy, you’re a candidate. We treat adults of all ages.

Will I see the same doctor every time?

Yes. Roeder Orthodontics is a single-doctor practice, so Dr. Roeder personally oversees your treatment at every visit.

Does insurance cover adult orthodontics?

Some plans include adult orthodontic benefits. Our team files insurance for you and will help you understand your coverage.

Can I whiten my teeth during treatment?

We recommend waiting until treatment is complete, since whitening can’t reach underneath brackets or attachments.
