What Makes Adult Orthodontics Different?

Adult treatment requires a slightly different approach than orthodontics for children or teens.

Because adult bones are fully developed, tooth movement can require more detailed planning and coordination, especially if there are existing dental restorations like crowns, bridges, implants, or gum concerns.

Dr. Sullivan works closely with general dentists and other specialists when needed to ensure treatment supports your full oral health picture. Our goal is not just straighter teeth, it is a healthier, more stable smile for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

Adult braces may be right for you if your teeth have shifted, your bite feels off, your teeth are wearing unevenly, your smile feels crowded, or you want a healthier and more confident smile. At Sullivan Orthodontics in Bend and Redmond, adult orthodontic treatment is planned around your dental history, goals, lifestyle, and long-term oral health.

No. Adults of many ages can benefit from braces or clear aligners as long as their teeth and gums are healthy enough for orthodontic treatment. At Sullivan Orthodontics, we work with adults who want to improve alignment, bite function, and confidence later in life.

It depends on your goals and orthodontic needs. Clear aligners are popular with adults who want a discreet option for work, social events, and daily life. Braces may be better for more complex bite correction or tooth movement. Dr. Sullivan can help determine the best adult orthodontic treatment during your consultation.

Many adult orthodontic cases take about 12 to 24 months, though some cases may be shorter or longer depending on complexity. At Sullivan Orthodontics, we will give you a personalized estimate after evaluating your bite, alignment, and treatment goals.

Yes. Teeth can shift over time, especially if retainers were lost, stopped being worn, or no longer fit. Many adults visit our orthodontic office in Central Oregon because they had braces years ago and want to correct relapse, improve their bite, or feel confident smiling again.

Modern adult braces and clear aligners are more discreet and comfortable than many adults expect. Clear aligners are often preferred by professionals who want a removable option, while Pitts21 braces offer a smaller, more efficient braces system for adults who need fixed treatment.

The cost of adult braces depends on your treatment plan, whether you choose braces or clear aligners, and how long treatment is expected to take. Our team at Sullivan Orthodontics provides personalized consultations, flexible payment options, and insurance coordination so you can understand your investment before beginning treatment.
