Why Adults Choose Orthodontic Treatment
Adult orthodontics has grown significantly over the last decade, and for good reason. Today's treatment options are more discreet, more comfortable, and more affordable than ever before. At Ortho 99 Plus 1, nearly 1 in 3 of our patients is an adult — and most of them wish they'd started sooner.Many adults assume orthodontics is only for teens, but that is no longer the case. Adults often seek treatment for both cosmetic and functional reasons. Straighter teeth can improve confidence, but they can also reduce uneven wear, support healthier gums, and make daily brushing and flossing easier.
Whether your concern is crowding, spacing, a misaligned bite, or just wanting to finally feel confident about your smile, there's a treatment option designed for you.
What to Expect When You Get Braces as an Adult
Getting braces as an adult is more straightforward than most people expect. Here's how the process works at Ortho 99 Plus 1, from your first visit to your final appointment.
Most adults find the adjustment period is shorter than they expected. The first week is the biggest transition, and it gets easier from there.
Step 01 – Free Consultation
We evaluate your teeth, discuss your goals, and recommend a treatment plan. No pressure, no commitment required.
Step 02 – Custom Treatment Plan
Your orthodontist maps out your full treatment, including timeline, method, and cost, before anything begins.
Step 03 – Braces Placed
Your brackets or aligners are fitted, usually in a single appointment. Same-day placement is available if you're ready to start right away.
Step 04 – Regular Adjustments
You'll visit us every 4 to 6 weeks for routine checkups and adjustments to keep your treatment on track.
Step 05 – Braces Off, Retainer On
Once your teeth have reached their final position, your braces come off and you'll be fitted with a retainer to maintain your results.

Are You a Good Candidate for Adult Braces?
Most adults are good candidates for orthodontic treatment. If your teeth and gums are in reasonably good health, there's a strong chance braces or aligners can work for you. Here are some of the most common reasons adults seek treatment:
Crowded or overlapping teeth
Gaps or spaces between teeth
An overbite, underbite, or crossbite
Teeth that have shifted after previous orthodontic treatment
Jaw discomfort or uneven wear from a misaligned bite
Wanting to feel more confident about your smile
A few things may affect your treatment plan, though they rarely prevent treatment altogether:
Active gum disease or untreated cavities will need to be addressed with your general dentist first
Missing teeth may require coordination with a dentist or oral surgeon for implants or bridgework
Certain jaw issues may benefit from a combined orthodontic and surgical approach
The best way to know for certain is a free consultation with one of our orthodontists. We'll take a look at your full dental picture and give you an honest assessment of your options.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. There's no upper age limit for orthodontic treatment. As long as your teeth and gums are healthy, braces or aligners can work at any age. We regularly treat patients in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond.
Treatment length depends on the complexity of your case and the method you choose. On average, adults can expect 18 months to 3 years, though many straightforward cases resolve faster. We'll give you a realistic timeline during your consultation.
In some ways, yes. Adult bones are fully developed, which can make tooth movement slightly slower. But adults also tend to follow treatment guidelines more consistently, which can offset that. You may also have more options available to you, like ceramic braces and clear aligners, which are especially popular with adult patients who want a less noticeable look.
There's typically some initial soreness when braces are first placed and after adjustments, but this subsides quickly, usually within a day or two. Modern orthodontic techniques and materials are designed to minimize discomfort throughout your treatment. Most patients find it very manageable.
It depends on your plan. Many dental insurance policies include orthodontic benefits for adults, though coverage varies widely by carrier. Ortho 99 Plus 1 accepts a wide range of insurance plans, and our team can help you understand your benefits and explore flexible payment options if your coverage is limited.
Schedule a free consultation with one of our orthodontists specializing in adult braces in Jacksonville, FL. We'll evaluate your smile, walk through your treatment options, and give you a clear picture of timeline and cost with zero obligation to commit on the spot.
In most cases, yes. Crowns and fillings don't prevent orthodontic treatment as brackets can typically be bonded to crowned teeth, and fillings don't interfere with the process. Missing teeth can actually be a reason to seek treatment, as braces can help close gaps or create space for a future implant or bridge. We'll assess your full dental history at your consultation and coordinate with your general dentist if needed.
Both move your teeth gradually over time, but they work differently. Braces use brackets and wires that stay fixed throughout treatment and are often better suited for more complex cases. Clear aligners are removable trays you swap out every few weeks — more flexible for eating and cleaning, and nearly invisible. The right choice depends on your specific case, lifestyle, and goals. Our orthodontists will help you figure out which option makes the most sense for you.
Less than you might expect. Most adults adjust within the first week or two. You'll want to avoid certain hard or sticky foods, and you may find yourself being more mindful about cleaning your teeth after meals. For work or social situations, ceramic braces and clear aligners are popular choices because they're much less noticeable than traditional metal braces.
No referral needed. You can contact Ortho 99 Plus 1 directly and schedule a free consultation at any time. If it's been a while since your last dental visit, we may recommend checking in with your general dentist beforehand, but it's not a requirement to get started.
