It Is Never Too Late for the Smile You Deserve
The idea that orthodontic treatment is only for teenagers is a thing of the past. Today, adults make up more than 20 percent of all orthodontic patients nationwide, and for good reason. Straight teeth are not just about aesthetics; they are foundational to long-term oral health, jaw function, and overall well-being.
At Ehrmantrout Orthodontics, Dr. Zach Ehrmantrout has helped hundreds of Las Vegas adults achieve the confident, healthy smiles they have wanted for years. With modern treatment options that are discreet, efficient, and designed to fit around a demanding schedule, there has never been a better time to invest in yourself.

Why Adults Choose Orthodontic Treatment
Adults seek orthodontic care for a wide variety of reasons, and every motivation is valid. Some of the most common include:
Oral Health
Crowded or misaligned teeth create hard-to-clean surfaces where plaque accumulates, increasing the risk of cavities and gum disease. Correcting alignment makes daily hygiene more effective and reduces the likelihood of costly dental work down the road.
Jaw Comfort
A misaligned bite places uneven stress on the jaw joints and surrounding muscles, which can contribute to chronic headaches, jaw soreness, and TMJ discomfort. Orthodontic treatment addresses the root cause rather than just the symptoms.
Confidence
A smile is often the first thing people notice. Many adults who have lived with crooked or gapped teeth for years describe orthodontic treatment as genuinely life-changing — not just cosmetically, but in how they carry themselves professionally and socially.
Completing Unfinished Treatment
Some adults received partial orthodontic care as children or teens but never completed it. Teeth shift over time, and returning to treatment as an adult is a straightforward way to reclaim and protect that earlier investment.

How We Make Your Smile Better
Dr. Ehrmantrout understands that adults have different priorities than younger patients. Discretion, efficiency, and minimal disruption to daily life are paramount. We offer two primary treatment paths for our adult patients:
Invisalign® Clear Aligners for Adults
Invisalign is the gold standard in discreet orthodontic care. Custom-made from virtually invisible, smooth plastic, the aligners are worn over your teeth and changed on a regular schedule as your smile gradually transforms. Because they are completely removable, you can eat without restriction, brush and floss normally, and attend important meetings or events without self-consciousness. Most adult patients require a visit to our office only every six to eight weeks.

Damon™ Smile Braces for Adults
For cases that benefit from fixed appliances, Damon™ Smile braces offer a significant upgrade over traditional metal braces. The self-ligating system requires no elastic ties, reducing friction and allowing for gentler, more efficient tooth movement. Clear Damon brackets are available for adults who want the effectiveness of braces with a more subtle appearance

FAQ About Adult Orthodontics
Frequently Asked Questions
Am I too old for orthodontic treatment?
Absolutely not! It is never too late to achieve the smile you have always wanted. In fact, one in five orthodontic patients today is an adult. Healthy teeth can be moved at any age, and our modern treatment options make it easier than ever to fit treatment into a busy life.
What are the benefits of adult orthodontic treatment?
Beyond the aesthetic improvements, straight teeth are foundational to long-term oral health. Correcting alignment makes daily hygiene more effective, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease. It can also alleviate abnormal wear on tooth enamel and reduce jaw pain or TMJ symptoms.
Are there discreet treatment options for adults?
Yes, we understand that discretion is a priority for many adults. We offer Invisalign® clear aligners, which are virtually invisible and completely removable. For those who prefer fixed appliances, we also offer Damon™ Clear braces, which blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
How long will my adult orthodontic treatment take?
Treatment duration varies depending on the complexity of your case and the type of appliance used. On average, comprehensive treatment lasts between 12 and 24 months. During your complimentary consultation, Dr. Ehrmantrout will provide a personalized timeline based on your specific needs.
