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
Wonderful! Extremely professional and knowledgeable!
Dr. Doshi and her staff are very kind and patient. I have a child with Autism and ADHD, so he struggles with being still and has sensory needs. Dr. Doshi and her staff were so patient with him and accommodating. They take their time and go at his pace making his appointment go smoothly. My son was so happy to see the cool colors on his brackets and is excited when he comes to the orthodontist office. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
Dr. Doshi and her team are absolutely amazing. They are kind, attentive, positive, and experts in their field! I have a daughter with sensory sensitivities and Dr. Doshi and staff have adapted her treatment plan to fit her specific needs while making her comfortable, supporting her, and also getting the job done! She’s received an expander, molds, pictures, x-rays, and full set of braces, adjustments, and retainers. The team has been with her, supporting her every step of the way, and she now has such a beautiful smile. Dr. Doshi has the incredible art of knowing how to connect so well with her patients and parents too, offering care, support, and expertise. Thank you so much for making our orthodontic experience so top notch. Out of all the doctors, dentists, and orthodontists our family has visited over the years, Dr. Doshi is absolutely the best of the best.
Our child is nervous about dental procedures, and Greater Madison Orthodontics made the experience smooth and anxiety-free. Staff is friendly and knows customers’ names when they walk in the door!!
GMO is incredibly caring and welcoming!

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.
