Adult Orthodontics Waterbury/Middlebury and Southbury CT
July 14th, 2025
Thinking about braces or Invisalign as an adult? Dr. Ross Aronson, board-certified orthodontist in Southbury and Waterbury, explains what adult orthodontics really looks like—and why it’s worth it.
Why More Adults Are Getting Orthodontic Treatment
Orthodontics isn’t just for teenagers anymore. In fact, one in three orthodontic patients today is an adult. Whether you never had braces as a kid—or your teeth have shifted over time—adult orthodontic treatment can significantly improve both aesthetics and function.
At Aronson Orthodontics, we see adult patients every day who are ready to invest in themselves. And we make it as efficient and discreet as possible.
About 1/3 of our patients are adults!
Your Options: Braces vs. Invisalign for Adults
1. Clear or Metal Braces
Today’s braces are smaller, more comfortable, and far less noticeable than they used to be. For adults with more complex bite issues, braces can be the most efficient way to get an ideal result.
2. Invisalign® , Angel Aligners®, and other Clear Aligner options
If you’re looking for a more subtle, flexible option, Invisalign may be the right choice. We use a fully digital workflow, and Dr. Aronson personally designs and monitors every case. No generic corporate oversight—just expert care with precision.
3. Hybrid Treatments
In some cases, we use a combination of braces and aligners to maximize effectiveness while still minimizing visibility.
