Adult Braces in West Hills

It is never too late for the smile you want. Modern adult braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more discreet than ever, and they fix things clear aligners sometimes cannot.

Adult braces in West Hills help you straighten crowded or crooked teeth and correct bite problems that can wear down teeth or cause jaw discomfort over time. Today's braces are a world away from what you remember, with lower-profile brackets and gentler, more efficient tooth movement.

Braces options for adults

  • Metal braces: the most efficient and cost-effective choice for many cases.
  • Ceramic (clear) braces: tooth-colored brackets that blend in for a subtler look.
  • Self-ligating braces: a low-profile design that can mean fewer adjustment visits.

Why treat your bite as an adult?

Beyond a straighter smile, correcting your bite can make it easier to clean your teeth, reduce uneven wear, and relieve strain on your jaw. Many adults tell us they wish they had done it sooner. At your free consultation, an orthodontist explains exactly what your teeth need and how long it will take.
