If you’ve ever felt self-conscious about your smile but assumed braces were only for teenagers think again. In 2025, more adults are choosing to straighten their teeth, improve their bite, and boost their confidence through orthodontic treatment. At Monarch Dentistry, we’re here to say: It’s never too late for a better smile.

The big question is what you can expect as an adult getting braces compared to a teenager. While your teeth can be moved at any age, there are a few things to consider. Treatment time may be slightly longer than in teens, depending on bone density and complexity. As well as the extended treatment time, existing dental work (like crowns or implants) may require adjustments to your treatment plan. The good news? Adults tend to be more compliant, which often leads to great results.

According to the Canadian Association of Orthodontists, adults make up nearly one in four orthodontic patients today. With flexible treatment plans and financing options, getting the smile you’ve always wanted is more accessible than ever. At Monarch Dentistry, we offer personalized orthodontic consultations tailored to your lifestyle and goals. Whether you're considering clear aligners or traditional braces, we’ll guide you through every step of your journey.
