Braces for Adults in Langley
Orthodontic treatment can be a great way for adults to improve the appearance and overall health of their teeth, and to help prevent dental problems that may otherwise develop down the road.
Why consider adult orthodontics?
Do you avoid smiling for pictures, speaking up or even eating in public because you feel insecure about your misaligned teeth?
Maybe you have jaw pain, uneven wear and tear or difficulty brushing and flossing. If that sounds like you, then it may be time to start thinking about orthodontic treatment.
Many adults today are choosing to undergo orthodontic treatment for both aesthetic reasons and to help improve their oral health. And with all the low-profile treatment options available for a wide range of conditions, they can find the treatment that fits their needs too!
Your orthodontist will discuss the pros and cons of your orthodontic treatment options with you and help you decide on the one that best suits your oral health needs, lifestyle and other circumstances.

Am I too old for orthodontic treatment?
Absolutely not! There is no age limit for orthodontic treatment.
We regularly treat adult patients and even seniors at Langley Orthodontics. This is possible because the basic biological process that allows teeth to move is more or less the same in all individuals with healthy teeth, regardless of age.
In short, it’s never too late to improve the health and appearance of your smile with orthodontic treatment!

Are there orthodontic options for less conspicuous braces?
With advances in orthodontic technology, traditional braces come in lots of different shapes and sizes. Some common types of braces are virtually undetectable when worn!
Invisalign - Invisalign's clear, customized aligners straighten your teeth without wires and brackets. Invisalign is almost invisible when worn, meaning you can undergo orthodontic treatment without it being obvious!

Will having braces affect my daily activities?
For the most part, your braces won't have much of an impact on your day-to-day life.
After an initial period of adaptation, during which your adult teeth may feel a bit tender and sensitive as they adjust to your new braces, you’ll find that you should be able to go right back to your usual daily activities.
