Why Choose Adult Braces Treatment?
You may be surprised how common adult orthodontics has become. According to the American Association of Orthodontists, one in three orthodontic patients today is over the age of 18. Many adults who never had the chance to receive braces as teens are now ready to invest in their oral health and appearance.
There are many reasons adults pursue orthodontic care:
- Improved appearance and self-confidence
- Better oral hygiene and easier brushing/flossing
- Relief from jaw pain or bite problems
- Preventing long-term dental issues like uneven wear or tooth decay
Orthodontic treatment can transform your life by improving both function and aesthetics. And with today’s advanced options, treatment can be more discreet and comfortable than ever before.
Traditional Dental Braces For Adults
Tried and true, dental braces for adults remain one of the most effective methods for correcting complex alignment or bite issues. Our adult patients appreciate that today’s metal braces are smaller, sleeker, and more comfortable than those of the past. At Glen Ellyn KiDDS, we know that every smile is different, so we begin with a comprehensive consultation to determine the best treatment for your goals, lifestyle, and dental health.

Discreet Braces For Adults
We also offer two popular alternative braces options for adults looking for more discreet treatment:
Damon Clear Braces
For those who want the strength of traditional braces but with a less noticeable look, Damon Clear Braces are a fantastic choice. These self-ligating braces use a slide mechanism instead of elastic ties, making them easier to clean and often more efficient. The clear brackets blend with your natural tooth color, making them more discreet.
Invisalign® Clear Aligners
One of the most popular options for adult orthodontics, Invisalign® uses a series of nearly invisible, removable aligners to gradually straighten your teeth. You can take them out to eat, brush, and floss—making them ideal for busy professionals or parents. They’re also comfortable, low-maintenance, and very discreet.
If you’re unsure which treatment is right for you, our team will guide you through your options and help you feel confident in your treatment plan.

What to Expect From Adult Braces
Your orthodontic journey will begin with a detailed exam and digital imaging. From there, we’ll recommend a treatment option based on your bite, alignment, and cosmetic preferences. We’ll also discuss timeline, costs, and any additional dental work you may need before or during treatment.
Most adult treatments take between 12 and 24 months, though this can vary depending on complexity. No matter your choice—braces or aligners—we’ll be with you every step of the way.
We also work closely with your general dentist (if applicable) to ensure a seamless and comprehensive approach to your care.
