Orthodontics for Adults in Parker & Castle Rock, CO

Gone are the days when getting braces as an adult was taboo. For decades, adults avoided straightening their teeth because of the stigma associated with braces. Today, that’s changed—orthodontists across the country have seen a significant increase in adult patients seeking treatment. In fact, 33% of all orthodontic patients are now adults, according to the American Association of Orthodontists.

Thanks to more discreet options like Invisalign® and ceramic braces, adults can now achieve the smiles they’ve always wanted—without the noticeable appearance of traditional braces.

At our offices in Parker and Castle Rock, CO, we offer a variety of adult orthodontic solutions to help you achieve a healthy, beautiful smile. Dr. Ted Struhs, Dr. Brandon Scheer, and their experienced team are dedicated to providing personalized, high-quality orthodontic care for every patient.

Can Adults Get Orthodontic Treatment?

Absolutely! There’s no age limit to improving your smile. Whether you’re considering braces or clear aligners, it’s never too late to achieve straighter teeth and better oral health. Dr. Struhs and Dr. Scheer help many adult patients each year achieve the confident, healthy smiles they deserve—without compromise.

What Options Do Adults Have for Aligning Their Teeth?

Most orthodontic treatments available to teens are also suitable for adults. We offer a full range of options designed to fit your goals, comfort, and lifestyle:

  • Traditional Braces – The most common and cost-effective method for straightening teeth. Though they are the most visible option, they remain highly effective and efficient.
  • Ceramic Braces – These use clear or tooth-colored brackets for a more discreet appearance. They offer the same strength and precision as metal braces while blending in naturally with your teeth.
  • Invisalign® – A popular choice for adults who want a virtually invisible solution. Invisalign® uses custom-fitted, clear aligner trays to gently and gradually move teeth into proper alignment.
  • SureSmile Aligners – SureSmile offers clear aligners powered by advanced digital technology for precise, predictable results and improved comfort.

Why Adults Should See an Orthodontist

Orthodontic treatment isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about improving your overall oral health and quality of life.

You may benefit from orthodontic care if you experience:

  • Crowded or crooked teeth
  • Missing teeth
  • Underbite or overbite
  • Jaw or bite misalignment

Untreated bite or alignment issues can lead to more than cosmetic concerns—they can increase your risk for gum disease, tooth decay, difficulty chewing, and even systemic health problems such as cardiovascular issues or immune inefficiencies.

Does Tooth Alignment Take Longer for Adults?

Treatment times for adults are often similar to those for teens, but they can vary depending on the complexity of your case. Since adult bone structure is no longer developing, movement may take slightly longer—but with today’s advanced technology, Dr. Struhs and Dr. Scheer can deliver efficient and comfortable results.

Whether it’s your first time getting braces or you’re seeking retreatment, our team will customize a plan that fits your goals and timeline.
