What Are Braces for Adults?
Braces use a system of brackets and wires to gently shift teeth into proper alignment.
Adult orthodontic treatment can improve both appearance and oral health, addressing concerns like crowding, bite issues, spacing, or teeth that have shifted over time. We offer modern options that fit comfortably into adult lifestyles.
Benefits of Braces for Adults
- Straighten teeth for a more confident, professional appearance
- Improve bite and jaw alignment for better function and comfort
- Choose from discreet options, including ceramic braces
- Get a customized treatment plan that fits your goals and schedule
- Make daily brushing and flossing easier once teeth are in better position
- Preserve your teeth over time by reducing tooth decay and gum disease risks
Is Orthodontic Treatment Right for You?
Many adults choose braces to correct dental issues that were never addressed in childhood or to improve shifting teeth later in life. Dr. Hu and Dr. Lee often help patients in our Tracy and Manteca offices who notice crowding, uneven spacing, or jaw discomfort. If you’ve noticed these issues yourself, braces could be a great option—during your consultation, we’ll evaluate your needs and walk you through treatment options. With decades of experience, our doctors are honored to come alongside adult patients to finally achieve a confident and healthy smile,
How It Works
-
Comprehensive consultation and evaluation
We begin with a thorough consultation where Dr. Hu and Dr. Lee review your dental and medical history, discuss your goals, and perform a detailed exam of your teeth, bite, and jaw. This helps us determine whether braces are the right choice and what type of treatment will work best for you. -
Customized treatment plan using advanced imaging
Next, we take digital scans, photos, and x‑rays to capture a complete picture of your smile and bite. Using these images, we design a personalized treatment plan that outlines how your teeth will move over time and what results you can expect. -
Braces are placed with precision and care
Once your plan is finalized, your braces are carefully placed on your teeth using precise measurements to ensure accurate positioning. We explain each step as we go, so you know what to expect and how to care for your braces from day one. -
Regular check‑ins to monitor progress and make adjustments
Throughout treatment, you’ll return for regular visits so we can monitor your progress and make any needed adjustments to your braces. These appointments help keep your teeth moving according to plan and give you a chance to ask questions or address any concerns along the way. -
Treatment concludes with a confident, healthy smile
When your teeth and bite are properly aligned, we remove your braces and review your results together. You’ll receive instructions and retainers to help maintain your new smile, so you can enjoy a confident, healthy result for years to come.
