At Simon Says Smile, adult orthodontics is about more than straight teeth. We treat the bite and the airway as one system in Chamblee, GA — because a well-aligned bite supports how you breathe, sleep, and live every day.
Straightening your teeth is not something you outgrow the chance to do. Many adults assume the window for orthodontic treatment closed somewhere in their teenage years, leaving them to live with crowding, gaps, or a bite that has bothered them for decades. The truth is far more encouraging. Healthy teeth can be moved at any age, and a growing number of adults are choosing to invest in the smile they always wanted, often finding the experience far more comfortable and discreet than they expected.
At Simon Says Smile Orthodontics, we believe a confident smile is worth pursuing no matter your age. Dr. Hazie Simon built this Chamblee practice on personalized, attentive care, and that approach extends to every adult who wants to improve their smile and oral health. Whether you are correcting a longstanding concern or finally addressing something you have put off for years, our traditional braces are a proven, reliable way to achieve lasting results for patients across the greater Atlanta area.
Adult orthodontics has shifted from a rarity to a mainstream choice, and the numbers reflect that change. According to the American Association of Orthodontists, roughly one in three orthodontic patients today is an adult, a figure that has climbed to an all-time high in recent years. The reasons are practical as much as cosmetic, since straighter teeth are easier to clean and help protect against issues like decay and gum disease over time.
There is also the simple matter of how treatment makes people feel. A smile that finally looks the way you want it to can change how you carry yourself in your career and personal life. Adults often tell us their only regret is not starting sooner, and once they see their results take shape, that hesitation gives way to genuine pride in their progress.
Braces work the same way for adults as they do for younger patients, applying steady, gentle pressure that guides teeth into proper alignment. The biggest difference is that adult treatment is tailored around a fully developed jaw and the realities of a busy adult schedule. We take the time to understand your goals and design a plan that fits your life rather than disrupting it.
The length of treatment depends on the complexity of your case, with some corrections taking several months and more involved cases requiring longer. Throughout the process, modern braces are smaller, smoother, and more comfortable than the bulky hardware many adults remember. For those weighing their options, it helps to compare braces with alternatives like clear aligner therapy, which suits certain cases while braces remain the stronger choice for more complex corrections.
Good results depend on consistent care at every stage, and that begins with a thorough evaluation of your teeth, bite, and overall oral health. We use that information to anticipate challenges and set realistic expectations, so you always know what to expect from your treatment timeline. Clear communication is a core part of how we work, especially with adult patients balancing treatment alongside everything else in their lives.
Once your braces come off, the focus shifts to protecting the smile you worked for. Teeth naturally tend to drift over time, which is why we fit every patient with custom retainers to hold your results in place for the long term. We also know cost is a real consideration for adults, so we offer flexible financing options and file with a wide range of PPO insurance plans to help make treatment manageable.
It is never too late to invest in a healthier, more confident smile, and the right orthodontist makes all the difference in that journey. At Simon Says Smile Orthodontics, we combine careful, individualized treatment with a welcoming environment built around the patient, not the assembly line. Adults across Chamblee and the greater Atlanta area trust us to listen first, plan thoughtfully, and stay with them through every step toward their goals.
Led by Dr. Hazie Simon, a U.S. Navy veteran and the author of the children’s book Simon Says Smile, our practice brings a spirit of service and genuine connection to everything we do. If you are ready to finally pursue the smile you have always wanted, we invite you to schedule a complimentary consultation with our team today.
