Adult Orthodontics in Richmond, VA
Personalized Orthodontic Care for Adults at Every Stage of Life
Why Adults Consider Orthodontic Treatment
Adults seek orthodontic care for many different reasons. Some are addressing concerns they have had since childhood, while others are experiencing changes that developed later in life.
Adult orthodontic treatment may help with:
Crowded or overlapping teeth
Gaps or spacing between teeth
Bite concerns
Teeth that have shifted over time, including changes after previous orthodontic treatment
Alignment issues that make brushing and flossing more difficult
Your consultation with Dr. Cline is an opportunity to understand what is happening with your teeth and bite and determine which treatment options make sense for you.
Orthodontic Treatment Options for Adults
At All Star Orthodontics, your treatment plan is customized based on your smile rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Invisalign® and Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are a removable option for adults who prefer to straighten their teeth without brackets and wires. Learn more about Invisalign and clear aligner treatment in Richmond.
Braces for Adults
Depending on your needs and preferences, we offer traditional metal braces as well as ceramic, gold, and lingual options. Explore our braces options in Richmond, including ceramic and behind-the-teeth lingual braces.
Limited Orthodontic Treatment
Not every adult needs comprehensive orthodontic treatment. In some cases, treatment can focus on a specific area of concern rather than the entire bite. This may be an option for adults who previously completed orthodontic treatment and have experienced minor movement over time. Learn more about why teeth can shift after braces and what you can do about it.
