Modern orthodontic treatment is helping more adults than ever achieve healthier, more confident smiles.
Every Smile Is Carefully Planned
One thing that sets Bocklet Orthodontics apart is our collaborative approach to care.
At least two of our orthodontists review each adult treatment plan, combining decades of experience to create healthy, balanced, natural-looking smiles.
Every adult comes to us with different goals. Some want to feel more confident in their smile. Others are looking to improve their bite, correct shifting teeth, or achieve a more balanced, refined smile.
Whatever brings you here, your treatment plan is thoughtfully designed around your needs.
Why More Adults Are Choosing Orthodontic Treatment
Orthodontic treatment isn’t just for kids and teens. According to the American Association of Orthodontists, one in three orthodontic patients is an adult.
Adult orthodontic treatment can help:
Create a Healthy, Beautiful Smile
Straighten crowded or crooked teeth, close unwanted gaps, and create a smile that looks as great as it functions.
Improve Oral Health
Properly aligned teeth are easier to brush and floss, helping support healthier teeth and gums for years to come.
Correct Bite Concerns
Treat overbites, underbites, crossbites, and other alignment issues that can affect comfort, chewing, and long-term oral health.
Boost Confidence
Feel more comfortable smiling in photos, speaking confidently, and enjoying everyday moments without thinking twice about your smile.
Adult Orthodontic Treatments in Charleston, SC
Orthodontic treatment has come a long way for adults. Modern braces and clear aligners are more comfortable, discreet, and convenient.
We’ll walk you through your options and help you choose the treatment that best fits your smile, lifestyle, and goals.
Clear Aligners
We offer both Invisalign® and Solventum™ Clarity™ clear aligners.
These virtually invisible aligners gently move your teeth using a series of custom-made trays that fit comfortably into your daily routine. They're removable for meals, brushing, and special occasions, making them a popular choice for busy professionals and adults.
Ceramic Clear Braces
Ceramic clear braces function like traditional braces but use tooth-colored brackets that blend naturally with your smile, making treatment much less noticeable while delivering predictable, effective results.
Metal Braces
Metal braces remain one of the most effective treatment options for correcting everything from simple alignment concerns to more complex bite issues. Smaller, more comfortable brackets make treatment more efficient than in the past while delivering exceptional results.
How much do adult braces or clear aligners cost?
The cost of treatment depends on your orthodontic needs and the treatment option that’s right for your smile.

Frequently Asked Questions About Adult Orthodontics
Not at all. Healthy teeth can be moved successfully at almost any age. Whether you’re in your twenties, forties, or beyond, we’ll evaluate your smile and recommend the treatment that’s right for you.
Many adults are excellent candidates for clear aligners like Invisalign® or Solventum™ Clarity™ aligners.
However, the best treatment depends on your smile and bite. During your consultation, we’ll explain your options and recommend the approach that will give you the best long-term result.
Teeth naturally change over time, especially if retainers aren’t worn consistently.
Many adults seek orthodontic treatment to correct minor shifting, crowding, or spacing that develops years after their original treatment.
Treatment time varies depending on your goals and orthodontic needs.
Some patients complete treatment relatively quickly, while more comprehensive cases take longer. During your consultation, we’ll provide a personalized estimate based on your smile.
Some dental insurance plans include orthodontic benefits for adults.
Our team will verify your benefits before treatment begins and explain exactly what your insurance covers.
You may experience mild soreness for a few days after adjustments or changing aligners, but most patients find treatment much more comfortable than they expected. Modern orthodontic technology has made treatment significantly gentler than in the past.
