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.
What is included in the Grant Orthodontics Smile Assessment for adults?
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.
