At HIPP Orthodontics, we provide adult braces and orthodontic treatment for patients who want to straighten their teeth, improve their bite, and achieve a healthier, more confident smile. Orthodontic treatment is not just for children or teenagers — adults can achieve excellent results too, with treatment plans tailored to their individual needs.
Today, more adults than ever are choosing braces and other orthodontic treatment options to correct crowding, spacing, bite problems, and misaligned teeth. A well-aligned smile can improve not only dental health and function, but also confidence in both personal and professional settings.
As our practice has intentionally evolved to serve a younger patient demographic, we currently welcome new patients under the age of 30 only. This allows us to provide an experience that is closely aligned with the needs of the patients we see most often, while maintaining the high standard of care for which HIPP Orthodontics is known.
How you can you Benefit from adult braces and Orthodontic Treatment
Specialist orthodontics work for adults who want to correct their teeth that were neglected inyouth. Teeth with various malocclusions or misalignments look unsightly, which in many cases leads to poor self-esteem and a lack of self-confidence. We’ve seen patient after patient come in, lacking confidence because of their teeth, patients of all ages.
You’ll see, once we’ve created your perfect smile, your confidence will grow.

Benefits of Adult Braces
Orthodontic treatments or adult braces offer a multitude of health and dental benefits, including:
What are the main types of Braces for Adults
Orthodontic braces have been adapted and modified to make them more convenient for treatments in adults. There is now a wide range of fixed and removable orthodontic devices available, depending on the malocclusion.
At HIPP Orthodontics, we understand that everybody has overextended schedules already in today's life. Thus, we always aim to finish early orthodontic treatment in 12 months or less at appointment times that suit you.
Colourful/Metal Braces
Orthodontic braces treatments can go on for months, even years. Therefore, we encourage our patients to choose braces' colours that they will be happy with and wear for an extended period.
Ceramic Braces (Aesthetic Braces)
Ceramic braces are the same shape and size as metal braces. However, they offer patients the extra benefit of a discrete aesthetic appearance. The brackets on ceramic braces are a pearl-coloured material that blends in with the rest of the patient's natural teeth.
Invisalign
Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that straightens your teeth without the use of traditional metal braces. Invisalign uses 3-D imaging technology to determine the complete treatment plan and help your teeth get from the initial position using custom made aligners. Aligners are generally worn for about two weeks and then replaced by the next set of aligners until your teeth reach their final position.
Retainers For Teeth
Retainers are specific orthodontic devices that assist in straightening teeth and are one of many orthodontic treatment options. Retainers often get used in conjunction with braces. We usually prescribe retainers during the retention phase and reinforce the work done by traditional braces or Invisalign®.
