Adult Orthodontics in Fredericksburg and Stafford

Misaligned teeth can affect your smile aesthetically and functionally. In addition to altering your appearance, misaligned teeth can be challenging to clean, or they may affect how you eat or speak. Receiving braces as an adult provides numerous benefits, such as:

• Lowering your chances of tooth decay.
• Decreasing tooth injuries.
• Improving chewing for better digestion.

When you choose Rappahannock Orthodontics for your adult orthodontic needs, we will customize your treatment to fit your preferences and lifestyle. We offer three braces options to allow you to find a treatment that best fits your lifestyle or orthodontic goals.

Depending on your needs, lifestyle and other personal preferences, Dr. Caspersen may suggest one of the following braces treatments:

Traditional Metal Braces

Traditional metal braces are the most common treatment option and have become smaller and more comfortable over the years. Adult metal braces work by applying constant pressure to your teeth with the help of brackets and an archwire. This pressure forces your teeth to shift into a straighter position over time. Patients of all ages often find traditional metal braces easier to manage, as they are fixed to your teeth. This feature limits the risk of losing important hardware.

Ceramic Braces

Ceramic braces use a clear, tooth-colored material to straighten your teeth without the visibility of traditional braces. Many patients prefer ceramic braces because they combine the discreet look of Invisalign^® with the effectiveness of traditional braces. If you would like to maintain your professional appearance while wearing braces, you may want to consider adult ceramic braces as your treatment option.

Clear Aligners

Clear Invisalign aligners are a popular method for straightening teeth due to their transparent appearance. If you had braces as a child and could use a minor adjustment or would like to straighten your teeth subtly, you may wish to consider this treatment option.

Other benefits of invisible braces for adults are shorter and fewer appointments, making them ideal for busy professionals
