It isn’t always easy to begin the orthodontic journey, especially later in life. At our orthodontic offices, we also understand that as an adult, your needs, requests, and goals differ greatly from that of an adolescent. We want you to know we are here for you, respect your concerns, and will do everything possible to give you the smile you deserve with Invisalign and adult braces in Jacksonville, FL, Macclenny, FL, and Fernandina Beach, FL. We appreciate all of our patients, but our adult patients are special to us in a different way.
Your teeth continue to move and shift throughout your life, so even if you didn’t need braces as a child, you may find yourself now wishing that your smile were a little straighter. Our orthodontists in Jacksonville, FL, Macclenny, FL and Fernandina Beach, FL, can help you smile with more confidence even before your treatment is finished, thanks to clear braces or Invisalign. With either of these treatment options, your family, friends, and coworkers will barely be able to to tell you’re even in treatment.
Here are some of the common concerns adults present at our orthodontics office:
Big silver bands around all of the teeth are truly a thing of the past. The braces we use at Coastline Orthodontics are small, discreet, and can even be “clear.”
The smaller size of today’s braces, along with the advancements in orthodontic wires, have minimized some of the discomfort associated with orthodontic treatment.
A large percentage of the adult patients at Coastline Orthodontics are in Invisalign treatment. This innovative system of clear, removable aligners has proven to be a great alternative to braces for some patients. Please visit our Invisalign page for more details.
Although time in treatment is dependent on the individual case and complexity of the bite, it is not uncommon to have adult patients request partial or limited orthodontics, which in some instances can be a very quick treatment. Advances in bone remodeling through the AcceleDent system have also allowed our Coastline orthodontists to expedite treatment. Please see our Accelerated Treatment page to see how you can accelerate your treatment and finish your adult braces or Invisalign treatment more quickly.
Appointment intervals vary depending on what stage of treatment the patient is in, but they can be as short as 4 weeks or as long as a few months apart.
