Why Adults in Central Austin Are Choosing Orthodontic Treatment

It’s never too late to improve your smile—and there’s more to orthodontic care than appearance. Adult orthodontics comes with several meaningful benefits:

• Better oral hygiene – Straight teeth are easier to clean, helping to reduce the risk of gum disease, cavities, and plaque buildup.
• Improved bite and jaw function – Orthodontic treatment can relieve pressure and discomfort caused by bite misalignment, reducing the chance of jaw pain and enamel erosion.
• Boost in self-confidence – A straighter smile can positively impact your self-esteem and enhance both personal and professional relationships.
• Long-term dental health – By correcting alignment and spacing issues now, you can prevent more serious dental problems later.

Whether you want to improve function, aesthetics, or both, adult orthodontics at Tomblyn Family Orthodontics in Central Austin is designed to support your goals.

Orthodontic Options That Fit Your Lifestyle

We understand that adult patients often have specific needs when it comes to orthodontic treatment. That’s why we offer a variety of solutions that balance appearance, comfort, and convenience. Our primary options for adult orthodontics in Central Austin include:

Traditional Braces

Modern braces have come a long way. With sleeker brackets and more comfortable materials, today’s braces are more effective and less noticeable than ever before.

Aesthetic Benefits:

• Ceramic (tooth-colored) options are available for a more discreet look.
• Low-profile brackets minimize visibility.
• Fixed appliances mean consistent progress—no need to remember to wear them.

Functional Benefits:

• Ideal for complex alignment or bite issues.
• Continuous correction without relying on patient compliance.
• Often more cost-effective than aligners for extensive treatment needs.

Invisalign® Clear Aligners

For adults looking for a more flexible and subtle option, Invisalign is a popular choice. These clear aligners offer a virtually invisible way to straighten teeth without brackets or wires.

Aesthetic Benefits:

• Crystal-clear trays are nearly undetectable in social or professional settings.
• Removable for photos, meals, or meetings.
• Low-profile treatment for maximum confidence during daily life.

Functional Benefits:

• Easily removed for brushing, flossing, and eating.
• Smooth plastic trays prevent irritation to cheeks and gums.
• Fewer in-office visits and shorter appointments.
