Orthodontic treatment is no longer just for teens. In fact, the American Association of Orthodontists states that one in five orthodontic patients is over the age of 21. Many adults are choosing to receive treatment because they understand the importance of maintaining their health, and they want to feel better about their appearance. Adults everywhere are taking advantage of the opportunity to receive orthodontic care, and now you can too.
Common reasons why adults are considering orthodontic treatment:
- A bad bite (malocclusion) causing teeth to fit together incorrectly
- Teeth are crowded or spaced apart, possibly leading to tooth decay or gum disease
- Abnormal jaw pain or pressure that is caused by crooked teeth
- Desire for a healthier mouth and a more confident smile
Treatment Options for Adults
For many adults, the thought of having metal braces is enough to discourage them from receiving treatment. However, today’s orthodontic treatment options offer a variety of braces and appliances that are comfortable, aesthetic, and customized to meet your needs. Types of braces include:
- Ceramic bracket
- Invisalign Clear Aligners
Greater Madison Orthodontics Reviews
Could not be happier with the results and service we received from Greater Madison Orthodontics!
Dr. Doshi is always warm, welcoming and knowledgeable - - and genuinely caring about her patients. And her staff is on the ball and very good at what they do. We feel we're in great hands at Greater Madison Orthodontics and my daughter is progressing faster than we thought with her braces. Great experience for the past year!
I would recommend this place to everyone, they care so much about you, feels like home.
I love the GMO Family! All three of my girls go here. Dr. Doshi and her staff are absolutely amazing. From the moment you enter the door, the greetings, smiles and atmosphere put you at ease. They make you feel like family. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. We started off at another facility and the vibes weren’t there. So, I heard about GMO and haven’t looked back.
Dr. Doshi and her team are the best! So great with our 10yo daughter. She even said she would miss the visits!

The difference between adult orthodontics & orthodontics for children and teens:
The main difference between treating adults and children or teens is that the jawbones of younger patients are still developing. For adults, these bones have stopped growing; thus, orthognathic surgery may be necessary to align the jawbones. Other differences include:
- Gum or bone loss (periodontal disease) — Adults are more likely than children to experience gum recession or even bone loss due to gingivitis or advanced periodontal disease. Patients with straighter teeth are less likely to get gum disease.
- Worn or missing teeth — Over time, teeth can become worn down and shift into different positions that can only be corrected with orthodontic care. Missing teeth can cause other teeth to shift and tilt, creating a bad bite and increasing the possibility of gum disease.
Our practice also recognizes that adults and children have different needs. We will work with you to ensure that you receive the most appropriate treatments and that your needs are met with understanding and respect from us.
Why should you consider orthodontic treatment?
- Straight teeth are healthy teeth — Teeth that are properly aligned are easier to keep clean with flossing and brushing, and may help prevent other health problems.
- A beautiful, straight smile builds confidence — Orthodontic treatment can help boost your self-confidence, giving you a better quality of life and the freedom to smile without holding back!
- Mouths left untreated can get worse — Not receiving orthodontic treatment when it’s needed can create long-term health issues costing you more in the end.
