Absolutely — orthodontic treatment isn’t just for kids or teens anymore. In fact, more and more Canadian adults are choosing braces or clear aligners to straighten their teeth later in life.
If you’ve been thinking about improving your smile, it’s never too late to start.
🧑 Why Adults Get Braces
- Teeth have shifted over time
- Bite problems are causing jaw pain or wear
- Past orthodontic treatment relapsed due to not wearing a retainer
- Confidence and appearance matter more in social or professional settings
🩺 Treatment Options for Adults
- Clear aligners (like Invisalign®)
- Ceramic or clear braces
- Lingual braces that go behind your teeth
- Traditional metal braces, now more compact and comfortable than ever
Your treatment will be personalized based on your needs, goals, and oral health.
🌟 Is It Worth It?
- Improve chewing and bite alignment
- Boost confidence
- Make teeth easier to clean and maintain
Treatment may take slightly longer for adults than teens, but the outcome is well worth it.
🫰 You’re Not Alone
It’s estimated that 1 in 4 orthodontic patients in Canada is an adult. You’ll be in good company!
