Orthodontics for Adults in Colorado Springs and Woodland Park
At Inner-Smiles Orthodontics, we believe it’s never too late to love your smile. Dr. Sheila has extensive experience with adult orthodontics in Colorado Springs and Woodland Park. In fact, for several years, over 90% of her patients were adults! Nationwide, nearly half of all orthodontic patients are adults, so you’re in great company.
Adults seek orthodontic treatment for many reasons. Some are preparing for dental implants or restorative work. Others are ready to fix crowded teeth that make brushing and flossing a challenge. Many simply want to boost their confidence in their personal or professional life. And for those who had braces as a kid, this is a second chance to get that straight smile back.
Adult Treatment Choices
If the idea of “metal mouth” is holding you back, you’ll be happy to know that modern braces for grown-ups are more discreet, comfortable, and effective than ever.
Clear Aligners for Adults
Our clear aligner systems (similar to Invisalign®) offer discreet, removable trays that are customized by Dr. Sheila for exceptional results. You wear each set of trays in sequence as your teeth gently shift into place. Aligners are virtually invisible and can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing. Depending on your case, you may need small attachments or clear rubber bands to help guide your teeth.
Modern Metal Braces
Today’s metal braces are a far cry from what you may remember. We use low-profile brackets, advanced wires developed from NASA technology, and customized prescriptions for each tooth, offering high precision, fewer visits, and greater comfort. Choose from silver or champagne-toned metal for the look you prefer.
