Adult Orthodontics in Reno, NV

Maybe you’ve always dreamed of having straighter teeth, or perhaps you had braces years ago and have noticed your teeth starting to shift. No matter where you’re starting, it’s never too late to achieve a smile you feel confident in. At The Smile Studio Personalized Orthodontics, we take the time to understand your goals and create a personalized treatment plan that fits your smile, your needs, and your lifestyle.

What Does Orthodontic Treatment Look Like for Adults?

Adult orthodontics uses braces or clear aligners to move teeth and improve the way your bite fits together. Treatment can address a concern you’ve had for years or a smaller change you’ve noticed since having braces.

Even minor crowding can change how you feel about your smile. You may see one tooth turning, a gap reopening, or your lower front teeth shifting. We’ll take a close look at what has changed and talk with you about what you’d like to achieve.

Your treatment plan will reflect your smile today. We’ll consider your dental health, your goals, and the approach that fits comfortably into your routine.

What Can Adult Orthodontics Address?

Adults come to us with a variety of goals, from making small adjustments to improving the way their teeth and bite fit together.

Our doctors can evaluate concerns such as:

- Minor crowding or overlapping teeth
- Teeth shifting from inconsistent retainer wear 
- Gaps or spacing between teeth
- Teeth that have rotated or moved out of position
- An overbite, underbite, or crossbite
- Teeth that do not meet comfortably when you bite
- Alignment concerns you’ve wanted to address for some time

During your complimentary consultation, we’ll show you what we see and explain how treatment can help you reach your goals.


Your Treatment Options

There’s more than one way to make progress toward the smile you want. We’ll explain your options and recommend a plan tailored to your teeth, bite, and goals.

Damon Braces
Damon braces use brackets and wires to gradually move your teeth into alignment. They can address a range of crowding, spacing, and bite concerns, with guidance from our team throughout treatment.

Spark Clear Aligners
Spark clear aligners use a series of custom-made, removable trays to move your teeth over time. Their discreet appearance makes them an appealing option for adults who want to straighten their smiles without drawing much attention to treatment.

DentalMonitoring
With DentalMonitoring Concierge Service, you can send photos of your teeth through an app, allowing our dedicated in-office DentalMonitoring coordinator to closely track your progress between appointments. This personalized approach helps us stay connected throughout your treatment and may reduce the number of in-person visits needed, making orthodontic care even more convenient.

We offer Spark clear aligners, a discreet, removable option for straightening teeth. Similar to Invisalign, Spark uses a series of custom-made, nearly invisible aligners to gradually move your teeth into place. If you’re considering clear aligner treatment, we’d be happy to explain how Spark works and create a personalized plan for your smile.

Your timeline depends on your teeth, bite, and treatment goals. Addressing a small amount of shifting may involve a different plan than making broader changes. After your evaluation, one of our doctors will give you an estimated timeline.
