Adult Orthodontics in Olney, MD

Orthodontic care isn’t just for kids and teens. Today, more adults than ever are choosing to straighten their teeth for better health, improved function, and renewed confidence. According to the American Association of Orthodontists, nearly one in five orthodontic patients is over age 21, and that number continues to grow.

At Shlash Orthodontics, we proudly offer adult orthodontics designed around your lifestyle, goals, and comfort. Whether you’re seeking adult braces or Invisalign for adults, it’s never too late to invest in a healthier, more confident smile.

Why Choose Adult Braces or Invisalign?

Many adults are choosing orthodontic treatment because they understand the importance of oral health and they want to feel better about their appearance. Whether you’re looking to improve function or gain confidence, orthodontic care can help.

Common reasons adults seek orthodontic treatment:

• A bad bite (malocclusion) that causes teeth to fit together incorrectly

• Crowded teeth, which may lead to tooth decay or gum disease

• Spacing between the teeth

• The desire for a healthier mouth and a more confident, beautiful smile

Correcting these issues now can prevent more serious dental problems down the road.

Teeth Straightening Options Designed for Comfort and Confidence

We understand that many adults hesitate when they think about traditional metal braces. That’s why we offer a range of adult braces options that are discreet, efficient, and designed with your lifestyle in mind.

Today’s adult-friendly orthodontic treatment options include:

• Invisalign® Clear Aligners: Nearly invisible and removable, Invisalign for adults allows you to straighten your teeth with flexibility. It is ideal for professional environments and social comfort.

• Clear Braces: Tooth-colored brackets blend in with your natural smile and provide precise, effective movement.

• Traditional Metal Braces: Modern metal braces are smaller and smoother than ever before. They remain a dependable option for even the most complex orthodontic cases.

Dr. Shlash will help you choose the treatment option that fits your goals and everyday routine.

What are the Benefits of Adult Orthodontics?

Adult orthodontic care offers both aesthetic and functional benefits, including:

• Improved oral hygiene with easier brushing and flossing

• Reduced risk of gum disease, tooth decay, and enamel wear

• Relief from bite-related jaw discomfort

• Better chewing and speech function

• Increased confidence in your smile

• Prevention of long-term dental complications

Straight teeth are healthier teeth, and a confident smile enhances every part of your life.
