Common Questions About Adult Orthodontics in San Francisco


These FAQs are designed to address common questions adults may have about orthodontic treatment and highlight the benefits of achieving a healthy, beautiful smile at any age.

Is it too late to get braces as an adult?

It’s never too late! Orthodontic treatment can be effective at any age. Many adults seek treatment to improve their smiles or address issues like crowding, bite problems, or jaw alignment. Dr. Camilo Riaño specializes in creating personalized treatment plans for adult patients.

What are the discreet options for adult braces?

Adults often prefer less noticeable orthodontic options. In addition to traditional metal braces, Dr. Riaño offers ceramic braces, which blend with your teeth, and clear aligners like Invisalign, which are removable and virtually invisible. These options can give you a more subtle treatment experience.

How long does adult orthodontic treatment take?

Treatment times for adults vary based on individual needs, but most adult orthodontic cases are completed in 12 to 30 months. Dr. Riaño will create a customized treatment plan and provide an estimated timeline during your consultation.

Will braces affect my lifestyle?

While braces may require some adjustments, most adults find they can continue their usual activities, such as work and social events, without issue. Clear aligners like Invisalign are particularly popular among adults because they can be removed for eating, brushing, and important occasions.

Can orthodontic treatment improve my oral health?

Yes! Orthodontic treatment can improve more than just your appearance. Correcting misaligned teeth can help prevent issues like tooth decay, gum disease, and jaw pain. Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean and function better, promoting long-term oral health.

How do I take care of my braces or aligners?

Maintaining good oral hygiene is essential during orthodontic treatment. Brush and floss regularly, especially around brackets or attachments if using clear aligners. Dr. Riaño and his team will give you tips on caring for your braces or aligners to keep your teeth healthy throughout the process.
