Adult Orthodontic Treatment in Sammamish & Issaquah, WA
Discreet, Modern Solutions: Braces & Aligners for Confident Smiles
Adult orthodontics accounts for one in three orthodontic patients, with approximately 1.91 million adults in treatment across the U.S., according to AAO member surveys. At Christian Manley Orthodontics, we design customized plans for professionals and parents addressing shifting teeth, TMJ discomfort, or crowding. Our treatment options include Invisalign clear aligners for removable, discreet correction in mild to moderate cases; metal braces for efficient, economical handling of complex issues; clear (ceramic) braces blending with natural teeth for subtle aesthetics; and innovative LightForce clear braces with 3D-printed custom brackets for faster results (12-24 months) and fewer visits, all supported by DentalMonitoring for virtual progress tracking.
From Sammamish and Issaquah offices, we provide flexible appointments and accessible financing. Treatment enhances hygiene, reduces gum disease risks, and supports overall wellness through better bite function. Our team's specialized training delivers reliable, patient-centered results.
