Your teeth may be holding you back more than you think—every covered smile, every moment of hesitation. Adult braces discreetly correct crowding, gaps, and bite issues, so you can stop holding back and start showing up with confidence.
As an adult, you probably didn’t think braces were still on the table for you, but they are, and the results are worth it. Whether you missed the window as a teenager, experienced relapse after previous treatment, or simply decided it’s finally time to invest in your smile, adult orthodontic care is more common, more comfortable, and more discreet than ever before. The truth is, there’s no age limit on a healthier, more confident smile.
At House of Smiles Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics in Cypress, TX, adults are welcome in the orthodontic chair. Dr. Harmon is a board-certified orthodontist who takes an individualized approach with every patient, treating each case as though no one has ever had braces before and walking through exactly what to expect from start to finish. If you’re curious about your options, we offer complimentary orthodontic consultations to help you get answers and a personalized treatment plan, with no commitment required.
Adults make up a growing share of orthodontic patients nationwide, and it’s easy to understand why. Orthodontic treatment options have expanded dramatically, and today’s braces are sleeker, more effective, and far less intrusive than older versions. A study published in BioMed Research International found that the demand for orthodontic treatment among adults has risen steadily, with the American Association of Orthodontists reporting a 27% increase in adult patients over just a six-year span.
Beyond aesthetics, properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, can reduce the risk of excessive wear, and may improve jaw function over time. Adults often come in with more context for why treatment matters, which can make them highly motivated and engaged patients. At House of Smiles, Dr. Harmon appreciates that mindset and meets every adult patient where they are.
Every adult’s bite, lifestyle, and treatment goals are different, which is why we offer multiple options to fit a range of needs and preferences. Here’s a quick overview of what we provide:
Your options will depend on the complexity of your case, your preferences, and what Dr. Harmon recommends during your consultation. No two treatment plans look exactly alike, and that’s exactly the point.
Knowing what lies ahead makes the process far less intimidating. Here’s a breakdown of how adult treatment typically unfolds at House of Smiles, from your very first visit through the final stages of care.
Your journey begins with a complimentary consultation with Dr. Harmon, who will evaluate your bite, spacing, and alignment to determine which treatment approach best aligns with your goals. He takes the time to explain the process clearly, breaking down what each phase involves so you feel fully prepared before anything begins.
Adult treatment timelines vary depending on the complexity of the case, but the process is designed to work around your life. Dr. Harmon’s comprehensive orthodontic treatment approach addresses the full picture of your bite and alignment, not just surface-level concerns. You’ll have regular check-in appointments to monitor progress and make adjustments as needed, and you’ll always know where you stand.
Many adults find the adjustment period shorter than expected. Ceramic and clear aligner options, in particular, are popular among working professionals and parents who want effective treatment without drawing attention to themselves. Regardless of which option you choose, our team is here to support you through every stage of treatment with clear guidance and genuine care.
Not all orthodontists hold board certification, and it’s worth understanding what that distinction means for your care. Board certification requires orthodontists to demonstrate clinical excellence and a deep commitment to the standards of their field, going above and beyond the baseline requirements of a dental license.
Dr. Harmon pursued board certification as a personal and professional goal, and it reflects the level of care he brings to every patient. At House of Smiles, both Dr. Harmon and Dr. Goodloe are board-certified specialists in their respective fielda genuinely uncommon combinationmon. Having two board-certified specialists under one roof means adults seeking orthodontic care can also access top-tier pediatric dentistry for their children in the same practice.
