Orthodontics for Adults

Adult orthodontics addresses bite alignment, crowding, spacing, and jaw relationships that may not have been corrected earlier in life or that have shifted over time. At Jeremy Montrose, DMD, orthodontic care for adults is approached with attention to how teeth, jaws, and airway function work together, rather than treating alignment as a purely cosmetic concern.

Who Provides Care

Dr. Jeremy Montrose, D.M.D., oversees orthodontic treatment planning at the practice. His clinical focus includes airway-, TMJ-, and face-focused orthodontics, along with functional and orthopedic approaches to growth and remodeling, which inform how adult orthodontic cases are evaluated and managed.

Treatment Options

Traditional Braces — a longstanding method for correcting alignment and bite issues.
Clear Braces & White Braces — less visible alternatives to traditional metal brackets.
Custom 3D Printed Braces — appliances designed for individual fit.
Clear Aligners — removable trays used to gradually shift tooth position.
Expansion Appliances & Skeletal Expansion — used when jaw width or shape is part of the alignment picture.

Evaluation and Planning

When a fuller view of jaw, joint, or airway structure is helpful in planning treatment, CBCT (Cone Beam CT) imaging can be used alongside digital X-rays to support diagnosis. This information helps guide decisions about which orthodontic approach may be appropriate for an adult patient's specific bite and jaw relationship.
