Braces in Your 30s, 40s, 50s & Beyond

Think braces are just for teenagers? Think again. More adults than ever are choosing to straighten their teeth – whether it’s to boost confidence, improve oral health or simply do something for themselves. And with today’s discreet, flexible treatment options, achieving a confident smile is easier than you might think.

At Ewell Orthodontics, we see adult patients of all ages, from their 20s to their 60s and beyond. Whether you’re preparing for a special occasion or just want to feel more comfortable with your smile, we’re here to help – with personalised care and a treatment plan that fits around your life.

Why more adults are choosing braces

There are plenty of reasons adults consider orthodontic treatment – and it’s not just about looks. Crooked or crowded teeth can be harder to clean, which increases the risk of gum problems and tooth wear. Correcting your bite can also help reduce jaw discomfort and make chewing more comfortable.

But one of the biggest reasons? Confidence. Many of our patients tell us they’ve spent years hiding their teeth or feeling self-conscious in photos. Straightening your smile can be life-changing – and it’s never too late to make that decision.

Discreet options that fit your lifestyle

Worried about the idea of wearing braces as an adult? You’re not alone – but the good news is, metal braces aren’t your only option. At Ewell Orthodontics, we offer a range of discreet treatments tailored to your needs and goals, including:

Angel Aligners – clear, removable aligners that fit seamlessly into your daily routine
Invisalign – another subtle and effective clear aligner option
Clear fixed braces – tooth-coloured brackets for a more subtle look
Champagne fixed braces – discreet, light-gold brackets that blend beautifully with your natural tooth colour
Lingual braces – hidden behind your teeth for completely incognito straightening

Because we only offer private care, your treatment plan is built around your lifestyle – not the other way around.

See the same specialist every step of the way

When you start treatment with us, you’ll be looked after by the same orthodontist at every appointment. This consistency means better communication, more personalised care and a smoother, more efficient journey from start to finish.

Our specialist orthodontists, Dr Faiza Lewis and Dr Richard Williams, have over 40 years of combined experience and a special interest in treating adult patients. They’ll take the time to understand your goals, answer your questions and support you throughout.

Faster treatment, long-lasting results

Orthodontic treatment doesn’t have to take years. If you have mild to moderate alignment issues, we may be able to achieve fantastic results in as little as 6 to 12 months. We’ll give you an honest idea of what to expect from your first consultation – along with a sneak peek of your projected result.

All adult treatment includes free whitening at the end – the perfect finishing touch to help your new smile shine. We also include both fixed and removable retainers to help you maintain your results long term.
