Braces for Adults
A Smile You’ll Feel Great About at Any Age
It’s never too late to feel great about your smile.
At Lazzara Orthodontics, we offer clear aligners and braces for adults in Jacksonville Beach and Nocatee/Ponte Vedra.
Whether it’s your first treatment or your teeth have shifted, our ABO-Board Certified orthodontists will help you explore your options.
What can adult orthodontic treatment improve?
Adult orthodontic treatment can improve how your smile looks, feels, and functions.
Orthodontics for adults may help:
- Correct crowded or overlapping teeth
- Close gaps and improve alignment
- Address overbites, underbites, and crossbites
- Improve how your teeth fit together
As Dr. Lazzara and Dr. Poblenz often say, the bite matters, but creating a smile you feel confident sharing matters too.
Explore Your Adult Braces & Clear Aligner Options
Today’s adults have more orthodontic treatment options than ever before, including:
- Metal braces for adults – Fixed brackets and wires correct alignment and bite concerns without removable trays.
- Clear braces for adults – Tooth-colored ceramic brackets offer a less noticeable approach to fixed treatment.
- Clear aligners for adults – Discreet, removable trays straighten teeth while offering flexibility for meals and daily care.
- Touch-up orthodontic treatment – For some adults with minor shifting after previous treatment, a shorter, limited plan may be an option.
We’ll help you choose the treatment that fits your smile, lifestyle, and goals.

FAQs About Braces for Adults
Am I too old for braces?
Not at all. Healthy teeth can often be moved at almost any age. Whether you’re in your twenties, forties, sixties, or somewhere in between, we’ll help you find the right path for your smile.
I had braces as a child. Can I straighten my teeth again?
Yes! If your teeth have shifted over the years, we can help you explore braces or clear aligners to bring your smile back into alignment.
Depending on your needs, a shorter touch-up treatment may be an option.
Are clear aligners or braces better for adults?
Both can be great options. It comes down to your smile and what works for you.
Braces stay in place, while clear aligners offer removable flexibility with consistent daily wear. We’ll talk through both and help you choose with confidence.
How long do braces take for adults?
Your smile has its own starting point, so your timeline will be personal to you.
Minor shifting may need a shorter touch-up plan, while more involved treatment takes longer. At your consultation, we’ll explain what you can expect.
Will I need a retainer after treatment?
Yes, and we’ll make sure you know exactly how to use it.
Retainers help keep your teeth in their new positions, so you can continue enjoying the smile you worked toward.
