Adult orthodontics in East Memphis
Whether this is your first orthodontic visit or you have had treatment before, Dr. Rachel Hoffman will help you explore your options.
Plan a complimentary consultationStart with your priorities
You may want to address crowding, spacing, a bite concern, or teeth that have shifted since earlier treatment. Your consultation gives Dr. Rachel a chance to examine your smile and hear what you would like to change.
Tell us about any previous braces, retainers, dental work, or ongoing care with your general dentist. That history helps shape the discussion.
Compare everyday tradeoffs
Our options include metal braces, tooth-colored ceramic braces, Invisalign, and Angel Aligners. We will explain the approaches that fit your needs and what their routines look like.
Removable trays require consistent wear; fixed braces require cleaning around brackets and some food precautions. The most discreet appliance is only useful if it also supports your treatment plan and daily habits.
Make an informed decision
Ask about the expected number of visits, treatment duration, payment options, and whether your insurance includes adult orthodontic benefits. Your consultation is complimentary.
Continue your regular dental care during treatment. If other dental work is needed, Dr. Rachel can discuss how it fits into the sequence of your care.
Before you decide.
Can I have treatment again if my teeth have shifted?
An evaluation can help identify why your teeth have moved and what options may be appropriate. Bring any existing retainers and tell us about your previous treatment.
Will I need retainers afterward?
Yes, maintaining tooth position is part of the plan after active treatment. Dr. Rachel will provide instructions for your retainers and follow-up care.
