Adult Orthodontics in Houston, TX
Orthodontic care isn’t just for children and teens anymore. Today, more adults than ever are choosing to invest in their smiles, and it’s never too late to start. In fact, according to the American Association of Orthodontists, 1 in 5 orthodontic patients is over the age of 21.
Dr. Amir Davoody proudly helps adults achieve healthier, more confident smiles with treatment options tailored to every lifestyle. Whether you’ve never had braces or you’re revisiting treatment due to relapse, we’re here to help.
Why Choose Adult Braces for Orthodontic Treatment
Many adult patients seek orthodontic care to improve both their oral health and their appearance. Common reasons include:
Misaligned teeth or bite problems (malocclusion), causing improper jaw alignment
Crowded or widely spaced teeth, which can lead to decay or gum disease
Relapse from past orthodontic treatment due to not wearing retainers long-term
Missing teeth or shifting caused by gaps
Excessive wear from grinding or a poor bite
Jaw discomfort or uneven pressure due to crooked teeth
A desire for a healthier smile and boosted confidence
Whether you’re correcting long-standing concerns or simply want to feel more confident, adult orthodontics offers a highly effective solution.
Teeth Straightening Options for Adults
Modern orthodontics provides adults with discreet, effective options that suit their appearance and lifestyle. At Davoody & Hablinski Orthodontics, we offer:
Invisalign® Clear Aligners – Virtually invisible, removable trays for a flexible and subtle treatment
Metal Braces – A traditional option that delivers reliable results, especially for complex cases
Clear Braces – Tooth-colored ceramic brackets that blend in with your smile for a more discreet look
Each option is customized to your specific treatment goals and comfort preferences.
Why Straight Teeth Matter—Now More Than Ever
Straightening your teeth isn’t just about aesthetics. It’s also about long-term oral and physical health. Here’s why orthodontic care is a smart investment:
Healthier teeth and gums – Straight teeth are easier to brush and floss, lowering your risk of gum disease
Improved bite – A more comfortable bite supports better chewing and reduces wear
Enhanced confidence – A great smile can make a strong impression personally and professionally
Future savings – Addressing issues now can prevent the need for more costly dental procedures later
“I never thought I’d wear braces as an adult, but now I wish I’d done it sooner!” – Real patient, real results.
What to Expect with Soreness and Comfort
It’s normal to experience some discomfort, especially in the first 12–24 hours after getting braces or aligners adjusted. Adults may notice soreness more than children, but the good news is: it typically subsides within 3–5 days. Modern appliances are designed to minimize pressure, maximize comfort, and move teeth more efficiently, so you can enjoy your results sooner and more comfortably.
Understanding the Cost of Adult Orthodontics
Adult orthodontic treatment is billed similarly to care for children and teens. Your total cost will depend on your customized treatment plan, the appliances used, and the complexity of your case. During your consultation, Dr. Davoody will walk you through:
The urgency and goals of your treatment
The type of braces or aligners recommended
A detailed estimate of cost and timeframe
We work with most insurance plans and offer flexible payment options to help make treatment work for your budget. From age 10 to 70+, it’s never too late to get the smile you’ve always wanted.
