Patient satisfaction rate
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.
Adults seek orthodontic care for a wide variety of reasons, and every motivation is valid. Some of the most common include:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
