Adult Orthodontics to Fit Your Life

Orthodontic treatment isn’t just for kids and teens. Adult orthodontics can improve alignment, bite balance, and overall oral health—while supporting confidence in everyday life.

Adults looking for orthodontic treatment in Broward County choose Jacaranda Smiles for clear guidance, flexible treatment options, and convenient locations in Plantation, Margate, and Pembroke Pines. At Jacaranda Smiles, we offer adult orthodontic options designed for busy schedules, including Invisalign® clear aligners. Our orthodontic team provides clear guidance, realistic expectations, and a supportive experience from start to finish.

Choosing to improve your alignment as an adult isn’t just about cosmetics—it’s a significant investment in your long-term oral health. According to clinical data managed by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, correcting overlapping or misaligned teeth as an adult significantly lowers the risks of gum disease and asymmetric jaw joint wear over time.

Should adults choose clear aligners or braces?

Most adults start with Invisalign clear aligners, our primary option, and we recommend braces when they give the more predictable result. Many adults want orthodontic results without drawing attention to treatment. Invisalign® clear aligners—our primary clear aligner solution—offer a discreet, removable option that fits easily into daily life.

If braces are the better choice for your needs, we’ll explain that clearly and help you feel confident moving forward.

Benefits of Adult Orthodontics Include:

  • Invisalign® clear aligners as a primary option
  • Treatment designed around adult schedules
  • Clear communication and realistic timelines
  • Support for bite function and oral health
  • Calm, straightforward guidance

Can adults wear Invisalign while working?

Yes. Aligners are nearly invisible and come out for meals and important moments, which is why many working adults choose them. For the best results, plan to wear them 20 to 22 hours a day and keep up with scheduled check-ins.

How is adult orthodontic treatment different from treatment for kids?

Adult treatment focuses on discreet options that fit a working schedule, and on alignment or bite changes that developed later in life. Modern orthodontics looks completely different for working professionals than it does for children. Our specialized approach to adult orthodontics focuses on discreet adult orthodontic treatment and lifestyle-friendly paths designed to fit seamlessly into a busy schedule while maximizing long-term oral health. Whether you are correcting alignment changes that occurred later in life or addressing lifelong bite issues for the first time, our dedicated adult orthodontics program utilizes advanced clear aligners and low-profile ceramic options to deliver premium cosmetic results comfortably and efficiently.
