Introduction

When most people think of orthodontic treatment, they picture teenagers with metal braces. But today, more adults than ever are choosing to prioritize their smiles—and for good reason. At Escott Orthodontics, especially at our Baldwin Park location in Orlando, we're seeing a growing number of adults opting for braces and Invisalign® to transform their appearance, overall oral health, and self-confidence.

Under the expert care of Dr. Christopher Escott and Dr. Hunter Davis, our team is committed to showing that orthodontic treatment isn't just for kids. It's never too late to achieve the smile you've always wanted.

The Rise of Adult Orthodontics

Orthodontics isn't just for growing teens anymore. According to the American Association of Orthodontists, 1 in 4 orthodontic patients today are over 18. That's a staggering shift from even a decade ago. Adults are recognizing that orthodontic treatment is more accessible, more discreet, and more tailored to their lifestyles than ever before.

At Escott Orthodontics, we're proud to be part of this transformation. We offer advanced care and customized treatment plans that meet the needs of every adult's smile.

Why Adults Are Choosing Braces and Aligners

Adults are pursuing orthodontic treatment for a variety of reasons:

Improved Appearance: A straighter smile leads to greater confidence in both social and professional settings.
Oral Health Benefits: Crooked teeth are harder to clean, increasing the risk of cavities, gum disease, and jaw pain.
Delayed Treatment: Many adults didn't have the opportunity for orthodontics as children.
Relapse After Past Treatment: Some patients wore braces in their youth but didn't keep up with retainer use, leading to shifting teeth.
A Commitment to Self-Care: With more adults prioritizing their health and wellness, orthodontics is now seen as a valuable part of that investment.

Is There a Maximum Age for Orthodontic Treatment?

The short answer? No. There's no upper age limit for braces or clear aligners. Whether you're 25 or 85, if your teeth and gums are healthy, you're likely a candidate for treatment. At Escott Orthodontics, we've helped adults of all ages achieve the smiles of their dreams. Many of our Baldwin Park patients are in their 40s, 50s, and even 60s, proving that great smiles truly have no age limit.

Baldwin Park: A Hub for Adult Smile Transformations

In one of Orlando's most vibrant communities, our Baldwin Park location has become a favorite for adult orthodontic patients. Its convenient location, modern design, and welcoming team create an experience that feels less like a clinical visit and more like a personalized journey toward your best self. Patients love the relaxing atmosphere and expert care provided by Dr. Escott and Dr. Davis, who take the time to understand each individual's goals, lifestyle, and concerns.

Treatment Options at Escott Orthodontics

We offer two powerful, proven options for adult orthodontic care:

Braces

Today's braces are more comfortable and efficient than ever. Adults often choose:

Clear ceramic braces for a subtle appearance
Metal braces for reliability and precision in more complex cases

Invisalign® Clear Aligners

Discreet, removable, and lifestyle-friendly, Invisalign is popular among adults at Escott Ortho. Benefits include:

Removable for eating and brushing
Nearly invisible appearance
No dietary restrictions
Minimal office visits

Not sure which option is right for you? Our Baldwin Park team will help you decide based on your goals, schedule, and budget.

Health Benefits of a Straight Smile

Straightening your teeth isn't just about aesthetics—it's a gateway to better long-term oral health. Here's how:

Easier Cleaning: Straight teeth are easier to brush and floss, reducing the risk of plaque buildup and gum disease.
Reduced Jaw Pain: Misaligned bites can strain your jaw and cause chronic discomfort. Orthodontic correction can bring relief.
Improved Digestion: Properly aligned teeth help you chew food more effectively, aiding digestion.
Lower Risk of Injury: Protruding teeth are more susceptible to injury. Aligning them can reduce that risk.

At Escott Orthodontics, we focus on creating functional, beautiful smiles that support your whole-body health.

Boosting Self-Esteem and Confidence

An aligned smile does more than look good—it makes you feel good.

Many of our adult patients tell us that they:

Smile more often
Speak with more confidence
Enjoy better interactions at work and socially

Whether preparing for a big life event or just wanting to love your reflection a little more, investing in your smile can be life-changing.
