Adult braces and orthodontics
High-quality, professional orthodontic care isn’t just for kids anymore. Many adults have untreated dental issues that create uneven bites or crooked smiles. With our various adult orthodontic options, you can treat these issues and increase your confidence.
Braces can have the same transformative effect for adults as children and teens. If you want to find the solution for your dental concerns, we can help you choose the best treatment at Unger Orthodontics.
When might adults need braces?
Going to the orthodontist as an adult is more common than you may believe. Many adults have lived much of their lives with a smile they don’t love. An aligned smile is a powerful confidence boost, and we’ll help you get there. We offer adult orthodontics so you can enjoy a happier and healthier smile.
Any adult with untreated orthodontic issues can qualify for treatment, regardless of age. For many, orthodontic care is a necessary process that can prevent speech impairment, gum disease or further stress on your bite. If you have any of the following dental problems, we may recommend adult braces or aligners:
- Crooked or crowded teeth
- Overbite
- Underbite
- Open bite
- Jaw alignment issues
- Protruding teeth

Choices of braces for adult teeth
Many adults are looking for quick or discreet orthodontic treatment. When you come to Unger Orthodontics, we give you options based on your individual needs and lifestyle. Choose from any of the following adult orthodontics treatments when you visit our Saint Peters office:
- Invisalign®
Invisalign is a series of clear aligner trays that gradually shift your teeth to create a straighter smile. We recommend Invisalign for adults or teens who prefer discreet treatment or want to remove their aligners while eating or brushing their teeth.
- Clear ceramic braces
Clear braces work similarly to traditional metal braces, except they use transparent and tooth-colored brackets for a more discreet look.
- Metal braces
Today's metal braces are smaller, lighter and more comfortable than ever before, making them a great option for patients of any age.
