Why Choose Beam Dental
Our dedicated team of dentists, implant specialists, hygienists, and care specialists in Flushing, NY, works together to create a convenient dental experience.
Braces and other orthodontic treatments are not just for children. If you are looking to straighten your teeth or address an overbite, our Flushing office offers several modern solutions tailored for adults. While many people view adult orthodontics as a cosmetic choice, these treatments also provide significant health benefits. Straighter teeth are easier to clean, which can lower your risk of cavities and reduce jaw pain.
At Beam Dental, we understand that our adult patients often prioritize discretion. Depending on your specific goals and dental concerns, your orthodontist may recommend one of the following options:
- Invisalign: Custom-made, clear, and removable trays that gradually shift your teeth into alignment. They are nearly invisible, making them a popular choice.
- Ceramic Braces: These use tooth-colored brackets and wires, making them much less noticeable than traditional metal options.
- Metal Braces: Traditional braces remain a highly effective option and are now designed with smaller, more comfortable brackets than in the past.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will my treatment take?
The timeframe depends on the complexity of your case. While a slight misalignment might be addressed in six to 12 months, more complex issues may take longer. Generally, you will visit our Edgewater office every six to eight weeks for adjustments and progress checks.
Is orthodontic treatment truly effective for adults?
Yes, adult treatment is highly effective. Your local orthodontist will work with you to identify the specific issue and create a plan to help you achieve a healthier, straighter smile.
How does the Invisalign process work?
Your orthodontist will create a digital model of your teeth and develop a series of custom aligners. You wear these trays throughout the day—removing them only to eat, drink, or brush—and switch to a new set every couple of weeks.
What are the best orthodontic options for adults?
The ideal choice depends on your specific dental needs and lifestyle goals. If you want the most discreet treatment possible, Invisalign for adults is often considered the best option because the clear aligners are difficult to notice.
