Adult Orthodontics in Homewood, IL

Our adult patients truly appreciate their new, beautiful smiles and renewed confidence! Getting orthodontic treatment improves your appearance, and it enhances your oral health for a lifetime. Most people are excellent candidates for orthodontic treatment and you may be, too. If you’re interested in high-quality adult orthodontics in Homewood, IL, then our experts at Grant Orthodontics are here to help!

Braces Aren’t Just for Teenagers

According to the AAO, 20% of all orthodontic patients in America are more than 21 years of age. While traditionally, braces were seen as a dental treatment that only teenagers underwent, today’s patients are realizing that adults have options, too.

Benefits of Orthodontic Treatment

No matter your age, straighter teeth provide multiple benefits for your oral health as well as your personal well-being. For adults, the advantages are even greater. They include:

  • Enhanced appearance & smile
  • Increased oral health
  • Improved self-confidence
  • Prevention of oral health issues like gum disease and tooth decay
  • Prevention of bone loss caused by improperly positioned teeth
  • Improved ability to bite and chew

Available Treatment Options for Adults

If the idea of wearing metal braces is keeping you from a beautiful set of teeth, then you’ll be glad to know that advancements in modern orthodontics mean you now have multiple options. In addition to traditional metal and gold braces, we offer both options below for adults who prefer a more discreet treatment method.

Invisalign – uses a series of virtually-invisible clear aligner trays to move your teeth into their optimal position. The treatment result is equal to traditional braces and is typically acheved in less time.

Clear Braces – designed to work just like traditional metal braces, but they are made with clear or tooth-colored pieces that fit on your teeth so that the braces are nearly undetectable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are many adults choosing orthodontic treatment today?
Yes. According to the American Association of Orthodontists, nearly 20% of orthodontic patients in the U.S. are over the age of 21, showing that orthodontic care is increasingly popular among adults.
What types of braces are offered for adults at Grant Orthodontics?
We provide a variety of adult orthodontic options, including traditional metal braces, gold braces, clear braces, and Invisalign®. These options allow you to choose the level of visibility and comfort that best suits your lifestyle.
How does adult orthodontic treatment help prevent future dental problems?
Properly aligned teeth reduce the risk of gum disease, tooth decay, and bone loss. They also improve bite function, helping to prevent uneven wear and strain on your teeth and jaw over time.
Can Invisalign® achieve the same results as traditional braces for adults?
Yes. Invisalign® uses a series of clear aligners to gradually move teeth into their ideal position and can often deliver results comparable to traditional braces, sometimes in less time.

Your assessment includes:

  • A detailed initial exam
  • Digital x-rays
  • A comprehensive consultation for braces or Invisalign®
  • A complimentary copy of Dr. Grant’s book, Simply Smile, A Parent’s Guide to Choosing the Right Orthodontist
Is it too late to start orthodontic treatment if I had braces years ago?
No. Many adults seek treatment to correct shifting that has occurred over time, even after previous orthodontic care. Our team can evaluate your current alignment and recommend the best solution.
How do clear braces differ from traditional braces for adults?
Clear braces work the same way as traditional braces but use tooth-colored or clear brackets, making them a more discreet option for adults who want less noticeable treatment.
