Why Consider Orthodontic Treatment As An Adult?

Adult orthodontic treatment is more common than ever — and for good reason. Many adults never had the chance to get braces as kids, while others may be seeing shifting teeth, bite issues, or dental complications develop over time.

Orthodontics as an adult can address both functional and cosmetic concerns, including:

  • Crowding or spacing
  • Shifting teeth after previous treatment
  • Jaw pain or discomfort
  • Bite misalignment
  • Tooth wear from grinding or misalignment

You don’t have to live with a smile you’re unhappy with — and with today’s discreet, effective treatment options, it’s easier than ever to make a lasting change.

Benefits of Braces for Adults

  • Improved smile confidence — in personal and professional settings
  • Easier oral hygiene — properly aligned teeth are easier to brush and floss
  • Better bite function — reducing jaw pain and uneven tooth wear
  • Reduced risk of future dental issues — including gum disease and enamel erosion
  • Long-lasting results — with proper retention, your new smile will last for years

At Beach Cities Orthodontics, we tailor each treatment plan to your goals, schedule, and lifestyle — so you get the outcome you want with the support you need.

Types of Braces for Adults in Los Angeles, CA

We understand that adults often want a subtle, professional look while undergoing treatment. That’s why we offer a variety of modern orthodontic options that fit into your routine — not disrupt it.

Here are the most popular braces options for adults at our Torrance office:

Clear (Ceramic) Braces
Designed to blend in with your natural tooth color, ceramic braces are a great option for adults who want effective treatment with a lower profile look. They’re less noticeable than metal braces and still highly efficient.

Champagne Gold Braces
These elegant braces offer the strength of stainless steel with a softer, more refined aesthetic. Champagne-colored brackets blend beautifully with natural teeth and are a popular choice among adult professionals.

WildSmiles Braces (for the young at heart)
While these are often chosen by teens, some adults enjoy adding a touch of fun or personalization with WildSmiles’ unique bracket shapes — because orthodontic treatment doesn’t have to be boring.

Invisalign for Adults
Looking for a braces-free option? Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners to gradually shift your teeth — with no wires, no brackets, and no one noticing. They’re removable, comfortable, and perfect for adults with active lifestyles.

Not sure which is right for you? Your free consultation includes a full evaluation and a walkthrough of every option — so you can make the most informed decision for your smile.

When Should an Adult See an Orthodontist?

There’s no “wrong” time to start adult orthodontic treatment — but sooner is always better when it comes to preserving your smile. If you’ve noticed changes in your bite, shifting teeth, or discomfort, it may be time for an evaluation.

We commonly see adult patients who:

  • Didn’t complete orthodontic treatment as teens
  • Had braces in the past but didn’t wear retainers
  • Have experienced jaw pain, tension headaches, or tooth wear
  • Want to improve the aesthetics of their smile for personal or career reasons

Even if you’re not sure whether you need braces, our team can provide answers and options in a no-pressure setting.

Signs You May Need Braces as an Adult

  • Crowded, crooked, or shifting teeth
  • Gaps or spacing between teeth
  • Teeth that don’t meet properly when you bite
  • Clicking or discomfort in the jaw
  • Difficulty cleaning between teeth
  • Feeling self-conscious about your smile

These issues can worsen over time if left untreated, leading to complications that require more intensive (and costly) treatment later on.
