Why adults
choose orthodontic treatment
There are plenty of great reasons to explore orthodontics as an adult - some functional, some cosmetic, and some that blend the two.
- You want to improve your confidence
- You’ve noticed crowding or shifting over time
- Your bite isn’t quite right or is causing discomfort
- You’re planning cosmetic dental work and want to align your teeth first
- You had braces before but your teeth have moved again
Whatever the reason, you’re not alone - and you’re not too late!

Clear aligners for adults:
discreet and flexible
Clear aligners are a popular choice for adults who want subtle, removable treatment without brackets or wires. At Knox City Orthodontics, we offer two trusted options:
Both systems use a series of clear trays to gradually shift your teeth into alignment. You can take them out for eating, brushing, meetings and events - making them ideal for busy schedules and social confidence.
Dr Baker will walk you through each system and recommend the one best suited to your goals, timeline and budget.

Braces for adults: modern options, refined results
Braces are still one of the most effective ways to achieve a straight, healthy smile - especially for more complex cases. Today’s adult orthodontic options are sleeker, more comfortable, and more aesthetic than ever.
