Braces for Adults in Indianapolis

It's Never Too Late for a Straighter Smile

Many adults assume orthodontic treatment is only for children and teenagers, but more adults than ever are choosing braces to improve their oral health, confidence, and quality of life. At Eraso Orthodontics, Dr. Francisco Eraso has helped adults throughout Indianapolis and Central Indiana achieve healthier, more attractive smiles through customized orthodontic treatment.

Whether you've never had braces before or your teeth have shifted over time, we can help you achieve the smile you've always wanted.

Why Adults Choose Braces

Orthodontic treatment offers benefits that go far beyond aesthetics. Properly aligned teeth and jaws can improve oral function, comfort, and long-term dental health.

Adults often seek braces to correct:

  • Crowded teeth
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Overbites and underbites
  • Crossbites
  • Shifting teeth after previous orthodontic treatment
  • Jaw discomfort related to bite issues
  • Difficulty chewing or speaking comfortably

Benefits of Adult Orthodontic Treatment

Straightening your teeth can have a significant impact on both your oral health and self-confidence.

Benefits of adult braces include:

  • Improved smile appearance
  • Enhanced confidence in social and professional settings
  • Better bite function
  • Easier brushing and flossing
  • Reduced risk of tooth decay and gum disease
  • Less wear on teeth caused by improper alignment
  • Improved long-term oral health

Braces Options for Adults

We understand that adults often want effective treatment with a professional appearance. That's why Eraso Orthodontics offers several orthodontic solutions to fit your goals and lifestyle.

Traditional Metal Braces

Modern metal braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more efficient than older designs. They remain an excellent choice for correcting even complex orthodontic concerns.

Clear Ceramic Braces

Clear ceramic braces offer a more discreet treatment option by blending with the natural color of your teeth while delivering reliable results.

Personalized Treatment Designed Around Your Lifestyle

Every smile is unique. During your consultation, Dr. Eraso will evaluate your teeth, bite, and overall oral health before recommending a personalized treatment plan.

Our team understands the needs of busy professionals, parents, and adults of all ages. We strive to make treatment convenient, comfortable, and effective from start to finish.

FAQs About Adult Braces

If you don't see an answer to your questions about adult braces below, please get in touch with us, and we'll do our best to help you.

Yes. Dr. Eraso offers a free consultation. The visit is diagnostic-first: we review your concerns, evaluate your bite and teeth, and explain next steps before treatment is started. In orthodontics, an in-person exam and records are a standard first step before a customized plan is confirmed.

The first visit is for evaluation and planning. Dr. Eraso reviews the X-rays and findings, explains whether braces or aligners may be a fit, discusses a case-based timeline, and, if you want to move forward, the team can complete scans, photos, medical history, consent, HIPAA, and financial paperwork. Orthodontic planning typically starts with records and an in-person assessment.

Usually no. At Dr. Eraso’s office, the first visit is for diagnostics and treatment planning, and appliances are generally delivered at a later appointment after the case review is complete. That approach matches standard orthodontic planning, which begins with an exam, records, and a customized treatment plan.

As a general guideline, comprehensive orthodontic treatment at Dr. Eraso's office typically ranges from $4,000 to $6,750. Your actual investment will depend on factors such as the complexity of your case, the type of treatment recommended, the estimated treatment time, and any applicable orthodontic insurance benefits.

During your consultation, Dr. Eraso and our team will perform a comprehensive evaluation, discuss your personalized treatment options, verify your insurance coverage, and provide a detailed estimate of your treatment costs. We also offer flexible financing options to help make achieving a healthy, confident smile affordable for every patient.

Yes, ideally patients come to the consultation already up to date with cleanings and needed dental work. You can still come for the consultation, but active orthodontic treatment may need to wait if there are cavities, gum concerns, heavy buildup, or other pending dental needs. AAO patient guidance similarly notes that orthodontic treatment often should not start until certain dental conditions are addressed.

Yes. Dr. Eraso offers both braces and clear aligners. AAO and clear aligner providers both describe these as mainstream orthodontic treatment options, but the final recommendation depends on what the doctor sees in your exam and records.

It is a personal choice, but Dr. Eraso can advise that after the consultation, records, and exam. Some patients are strong aligner candidates, while others may need braces or another appliance first. AAO patient guidance emphasizes that only the orthodontist can recommend the right treatment after reviewing the full picture of your mouth and bite.

It depends on what Dr. Eraso sees on your X-rays and during the exam. Some patients can begin treatment before wisdom teeth are addressed, while others may be referred first or during treatment. Orthodontic planning is built from records and imaging, so the doctor should make that call after the consultation.

Possibly, case by case. The office does receive removal-only requests, but the current practice documents make clear that removal does not include a cleaning, and retainers are not automatically included for unfinished outside cases. A brief evaluation is usually needed first.

Call or text 317-554-9950 so the team can guide you and schedule you if needed. AAO advises patients not to ignore broken braces because damage can affect comfort, treatment time, and results; some problems can wait until the next visit, but the office should decide that with you.
