A Guide to Adult Braces
At Drobocky Orthodontics, serving Bowling Green, Glasgow, and Franklin, KY for over 32 years, Dr. Oles Drobocky and Dr. Eric Shrestha has helped countless adults transform not just their smiles, but their entire confidence and quality of life through expert orthodontic care.

Why Adult Braces Are More Popular Than Ever
Gone are the days when braces were considered “just for kids.” In fact, the American Association of Orthodontists reports that one in four orthodontic patients is now an adult. Why this dramatic shift? Adults are realizing that a beautiful, healthy smile is an investment that pays dividends for decades to come.
Adult braces offer benefits that extend far beyond aesthetics:
- Enhanced professional confidence in meetings and presentations
- Improved oral health through easier cleaning of properly aligned teeth
- Better jaw function and reduced risk of TMJ disorders
- Increased self-esteem in personal and social situations
- Long-term dental cost savings by preventing future complications

Overcoming Common Adult Braces Concerns
“I’m Too Old for Braces”
Absolutely not! Healthy teeth can be moved at any age. In fact, adult teeth often respond very predictably to orthodontic treatment because growth is complete, making treatment planning more precise.
“Treatment Will Take Forever”
With modern adult braces technology like the Damon System and Invisalign, treatment times are shorter than ever. Most adult cases are completed within 12-24 months, and you’ll start seeing improvements within the first few months.
“I Can’t Afford Adult Braces”
Drobocky Orthodontics makes orthodontic treatment accessible with multiple payment options:
- No-interest payment programs
- Family discounts for multiple family members
- Full payment discounts
- Direct insurance billing
- Flexible scheduling to accommodate work commitments
“Braces Will Interfere with My Professional Life”
Our team understands the demands of adult life. We offer flexible scheduling around work commitments, and with options like Invisalign, you can maintain your professional appearance throughout treatment.

The Health Benefits You Can’t Ignore
While a beautiful smile is wonderful, the health benefits of adult braces are equally compelling:
Improved Oral Hygiene: Straight teeth are easier to clean, reducing your risk of cavities, gum disease, and tooth loss.
Better Digestion: Properly aligned teeth improve chewing efficiency, leading to better digestion and overall health.
Reduced Wear and Tear: Correcting bite issues prevents excessive wear on certain teeth, potentially saving thousands in future dental work.
TMJ Relief: Many adults find that orthodontic treatment significantly reduces jaw pain and tension headaches.
Better Sleep: Proper jaw alignment can improve breathing and reduce sleep apnea symptoms.
