Is It Too Late to Get Adult Braces?
You may be surprised to know that it’s never too late to straighten your teeth. Braces may seem to be an orthodontic solution just for teenagers, but currently, more and more adults are opting for orthodontics.
Whether you never got braces as a child or your teeth have become crooked or overcrowded over the years, adult braces can improve your appearance along with your oral health. Straight teeth are more natural to clean, keep your bite aligned, and look healthy and robust. Professionally, wanting to improve your look and life can improve your morale and confidence. No one ever regretted investing in straighter, perfectly aligned teeth—and neither will you.

Dr. Kim understands that different patients have different needs—but most of them have busy schedules. At Lucio H. Kim, DDS, in Glendale, CA, you can choose from different adult orthodontic options that align with your smile needs and schedule.
Inman Aligners in Glendale
Inman Aligners are an affordable orthodontic innovation that provides a discreet option for straightening the teeth that are visible when you smile. The aligners are placed on the inside and outside of your teeth. The inner section pushes teeth forward, and the outer section pushes teeth inward. This gentle opposing force moves your teeth quickly into the proper position.
Inman Aligners are popular because they can achieve the desired aesthetic results quickly (in some cases, as little as six weeks!). Treatment is efficient because the goal of Inman Aligners is not to correct a misaligned dental bite, which can take years with traditional braces. Another benefit that our patients really appreciate is that the aligners can be removed easily for brushing, flossing, and eating.
Powerprox Six-Month Braces
Another popular adult orthodontic treatment that focuses on correcting the alignment of teeth that show when you smile is Powerprox Six Month Braces. Traditional braces are useful for correcting alignment issues that include problems with the dental bite. However, most adults who want to straighten their teeth don’t need to have their bite adjusted. Since Powerprox Six Month Braces at our Glendale, CA dental office are not used to alter your dental bite, but with them, we can straighten your teeth quickly and comfortably in as little as six months.
Another advantage of Powerprox Six Month Braces is that treatment is discreet. Clear brackets and tooth-colored wires blend in with your natural teeth, so no one will notice you’re wearing them.
How Long Do Adults Wear Braces?
Traditionally, metal braces can take anywhere from 12 months to three years to straighten your teeth. However, with clear aligners, you can speed up the process to as little as six weeks. If spending a year or more wearing an orthodontic treatment makes you hesitate, consider Powerprox Six Month Braces or Inman Aligners.
