Should I Get Braces As An Adult?
According to the American Association of Orthodontists, over 1 million adults in the United States are currently wearing braces. There are a number of reasons why adults choose to get braces, including improving their oral health, correcting a misaligned bite, and increasing their confidence. While many people associate braces with teenagers, the truth is that orthodontic treatment can be beneficial at any age. For adults, braces can help to improve both their oral health and overall quality of life. If you are considering getting braces, it is important to consult an orthodontist to find out if this treatment is right for you.
Adult Braces Available
Our team is constantly striving to exceed your expectations when it comes to your oral health. We utilize the latest technology and equipment to provide you with treatment alternatives that fit your lifestyle and work with your specific needs in mind. We have a range of braces available so that you can select the device that will get you to your future smile.
Metal Braces
These are classic orthodontic treatments and consistently deliver remarkable results to our patients. They are ideal for addressing both major and minor oral health issues and have a high success rate. This appliance has been polished to perfection throughout the years, making it sleeker and more efficient than ever. As an additional customization option, you’ll get to choose a personalized pop of color (or not) with elastic ties on the brackets. Just pick a color that fits your style every time you have an adjustment.
Clear Braces
If you are looking for a more subtle look to your braces, consider clear braces! Clear braces use ceramic brackets that blend in with the natural color of your smile. These braces are just as effective as standard metal braces; however, ceramic brackets can be a little less durable than metal brackets. They may not be right for every patient, but if you think they could benefit you, ask us about them today!
Damon® Bracket System
The Damon bracket has “self-ligation” technology. In short, this allows the wire to travel back and forth within the bracket and is more comfortable than some bracket systems. Damon braces frequently shorten both treatment duration and the number of corrections required. By providing this technology to all of our metal or ceramic braces patients, we strive to make their braces journey seamless and effective!
Braces For Adults Reviews
Leiss Orthodontics was wonderful! They transformed my daughter’s smile and gave her such confidence. My daughter had a very complex mouth and was in braces for a long time and they always took such good care of her. All of the staff are friendly and make you feel comfortable. We are going to miss seeing everyone now that my daughter is out of braces! We had a great experience and would recommend them to everyone!
We’re incredibly grateful to Leiss Orthodontics for the wonderful care they provided to our daughter Dviti Patel throughout her 2-year braces treatment. From the very beginning until the final appointment, the entire team was consistently kind, patient, and supportive. They always took the time to explain each step clearly, making both my daughter and our family feel comfortable and confident during the whole journey.The treatment was not only professional and effective but also very affordable, which we truly appreciate. Every visit felt welcoming, and the staff were always helpful with scheduling, questions, and encouragement along the way. Thanks to their dedication and expertise, my daughter now has a beautiful, confident smile.We highly recommend Leiss Orthopedics to any family looking for skilled, compassionate, and trustworthy orthodontic care. Thank you to the entire team for making this experience such a positive one for our family! 😊
Leiss Orthodontics provided a great experience for my daughter’s first round of braces! The staff is knowledgeable, patient, and does an excellent job educating both the patient and parents. We always felt informed and confident in her care. Highly recommend!
I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Leiss Orthodontics. All of the staff are wonderful, caring and compassionate, the facilities are amazing and the level of care they provide to each child is amazing!
I have had nothing but an amazing experience at Leiss Orthodontics! I have Chiari Malformation Type 1 and Orthostatic Hypotension along with POTS and TMJ, so finding an Orthodontist who puts my health and safety first during visits is quite challenging. Dr. Leiss along with his team have been more than understanding and have helped me along the way! They all have been so caring and compassionate when I would come in and helped me manage myself during those visits along with making sure they take great care of me especially on my “not so good days.” The relationship I have built with him and his team is nothing short of amazing and I am thankful I put my trust in them. Not only have they listened to me but have also showed interest in learning more about me along the way to better ensure my visits are comfortable. I value Dr. Leiss and his knowledge not only in his field but making sure he points me in the right directions and advice on furthering my dental health AND physical health. My son has also experienced the same relationship with him and his team and we are both pleased with our results! I have nothing but respect and positive things to say about everyone on his team!

How Long Does It Take To Straighten Adult Teeth During Orthodontic Treatment?
The road to a healthy and beautiful smile is different for every person, but it is worth noting that our adult patients typically see a slightly longer treatment time than other patients. While this may be the case, we are prepared to deliver results for your increased oral health by utilizing the latest technology to get you where you want to be. Adult jaws are usually slower to move, but depending on your orthodontic assessment and your specific needs, we could get you to your ideal smile in an average of one to two years. Everyone is different, so don’t hesitate to consult with Dr. Leiss for expert advice and a customized treatment plan to solve your oral health concerns.
Life With Braces
Life with braces as an adult looks very similar to normal life! You can rest assured that there are only a few small lifestyle modifications you may need to make when wearing your braces.
Making small lifestyle modifications while wearing braces is important to ensure that the treatment is effective and comfortable. To avoid irritation, braces should be kept clean by brushing after every meal and flossing at least once a day. It is also important to stay away from hard and sticky foods, as they can damage brackets and loosen wires. In addition, sugary drinks and snacks should be avoided, as they can cause cavities. By following these simple guidelines, patients can maintain healthy teeth and gums while still getting the full benefits of braces treatment.
