Adult Braces in Gilbert, AZ
Braces aren't just for teenagers. At Oasis Family Dental & Orthodontics, we treat adults with braces every day, and the results speak for themselves: straighter teeth, a healthier bite, and a smile that's hard not to show off.
We offer both traditional metal braces and ceramic braces for adults. Metal braces are the most time-tested and efficient option for a wide range of alignment issues, while ceramic braces use tooth-colored brackets that blend in naturally with your smile. Both work the same way; the difference is mostly aesthetic.
Dr. Vohra will walk you through which option makes the most sense based on your specific alignment needs, lifestyle, and goals. Many adults appreciate that braces work around the clock without any extra effort.
Many insurance plans include an orthodontic benefit that applies to adults, and we offer flexible financing through CareCredit and Cherry as well. Schedule a free consultation with Dr. Vohra to find out if braces are the right path for you."
The Majority of Our Clear Aligners Patients are Adults in Gilbert, AZ
Adults now make up more than one in four orthodontic patients in the U.S., and we see that reflected right here at Oasis Family Dental & Orthodontics! Whether your teeth have shifted since childhood braces or you never had the chance to address misalignment, it's never too late.
Clear aligners are a natural fit for adult lifestyles. They're nearly invisible, removable for meals and special occasions, and easy to keep clean since you brush and floss normally. No one at work or at family gatherings needs to know you're in treatment.
Adult treatment requires a bit more planning than teen treatment, since your teeth are no longer growing and existing dental work like crowns or implants needs to be factored in. Dr. Vohra coordinates with our general dentistry team throughout the process, which is one of the real advantages of having both dentistry and orthodontics under one roof.
Most adults complete treatment in 12 to 18 months, though treatment times can vary depending on a variety of factors. Many insurance plans include an orthodontic benefit for adults, and we offer flexible financing as well. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Vohra to see what's possible, or try our virtual ortho consult to get started from home.
Adult Orthodontics FAQs
Can adults get orthodontic treatment?
Absolutely. Adults make up more than one in four orthodontic patients in the U.S., and we treat adults of all ages here at Oasis. There's no upper age limit for orthodontic treatment, so its truly never too late to achieve a healthy, straight smile. As long as your teeth and gums are healthy, you're a candidate.
Is Invisalign a good option for adults?
It's often the best option. Most adults prefer clear aligners because they're nearly invisible, removable for meals and social situations, and easier to keep clean than traditional braces. Dr. Vohra is a Preferred Invisalign Provider and will help you determine whether clear aligners are right for your specific case.
Does insurance cover orthodontic treatment for adults?
Many dental insurance plans include an orthodontic benefit that applies to adults, not just children. Our team will review your coverage before treatment begins so you know exactly what to expect. We also offer flexible financing through CareCredit and Cherry if you need additional support.
