Straighten Your Smile at Any Age

Orthodontic treatment isn't just for teenagers. More adults than ever are choosing to enhance their smiles with advanced orthodontic solutions that fit their lifestyle. At Model Dentistry in Baton Rouge, we provide modern orthodontic treatments for patients throughout Central, Denham Springs, Zachary, Baker, and surrounding areas. Whether you need to correct misalignment, close gaps, or improve your bite, our team offers personalized treatment options to help you achieve a straighter, healthier smile.

Why Choose Adult Orthodontics?

Orthodontic issues can impact more than just aesthetics—they can lead to problems like uneven tooth wear, jaw pain, and difficulty cleaning between teeth. Adult orthodontic treatment can:

  • Correct misaligned teeth for a healthier bite
  • Reduce the risk of cavities and gum disease
  • Enhance facial symmetry and smile aesthetics
  • Improve speech and chewing function
  • Provide discreet, comfortable alternatives to metal braces

Whether you have crowded teeth, gaps, or bite issues, our expert dentists offer customized treatment plans tailored to your needs.

Adult Orthodontic Treatment Options

At Model Dentistry, we provide a range of orthodontic treatments to fit your lifestyle and preferences.

Clear Aligners

Clear aligners offer a nearly invisible way to straighten teeth without metal brackets. These removable trays are comfortable and convenient, allowing you to eat, brush, and floss without restrictions.

Six Month Smiles

For patients looking for a faster solution, Six Month Smiles offers a short-term orthodontic option that focuses on straightening the visible teeth in as little as six months.

Traditional Braces

Though many adults prefer clear aligners, traditional braces remain an effective option for more complex orthodontic cases. Advances in orthodontic technology have made metal and ceramic braces more comfortable and discreet than ever before.

How Long Does Adult Orthodontic Treatment Take?

The length of treatment depends on the severity of misalignment and the chosen orthodontic method. On average:

  • Clear aligners: 6–18 months
  • Six Month Smiles: Around 6 months
  • Traditional braces: 12–24 months

During your consultation, our experienced dentists will assess your teeth and recommend the best treatment plan for your needs.

The Benefits of Orthodontics for Adults

Many adults hesitate to pursue orthodontic treatment, thinking it's too late. However, the benefits of straightening your teeth go beyond aesthetics:

  • Improved Oral Health: Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of decay and gum disease.
  • Enhanced Comfort: Correcting misalignment can relieve strain on the jaw and reduce issues like TMJ disorder.
  • Increased Confidence: A straighter smile can improve self-esteem and make you feel more comfortable in social and professional settings.
