Wondering whether your case qualifies? The free consultation answers that with digital scans and straight talk, no pressure.
Had braces years ago and watched your teeth drift back? Retreatment is common, and it usually finishes with a permanent or clear retainer so the result holds this time. We see adult patients from Midland and from Odessa.

Which Adult Braces Option Fits Your Case
Adults arrive with different priorities than teenagers. Some want the most efficient route, some want nothing visible at work, and plenty are correcting teeth that drifted after treatment years ago. Here is how the options compare.
- Metal braces stay the most efficient choice for larger corrections, and today's brackets are much smaller than the ones you remember.
- Ceramic and clear braces use tooth-colored brackets that handle the same movements as metal while blending into your smile.
- Lingual braces sit behind your teeth, so nothing shows from the front. A good fit if you present or speak for a living.
- Invisalign and Limited Invisalign come out for meals and meetings, and smaller corrections often need fewer visits.
- Complex bite correction covers crowding, deep bites, open bites and jaw alignment, each planned from a full bite and jaw assessment.
- Retreatment handles teeth that shifted after earlier braces, usually in less time than the first round, finishing with a retainer plan that holds.
Every option starts the same way: a free consultation with digital scans, imaging and a bite and jaw alignment assessment from Dr. Bonolo. Ask about accelerated treatment if your timeline is tight, and about in-house financing and payment plans before you decide anything.
We treat adult patients from Midland, Odessa, Big Spring, Andrews and across the Permian Basin.

Common Questions
Am I too old for braces?
No. If your teeth and gums are healthy, they can move. Dr. Bonolo treats adults of every age, including patients in their 50s and beyond.
How long does adult treatment take?
Typically 12 to 30 months depending on the case and the option you choose. You will get a real timeline at your free consultation.
Which option is most discreet?
Lingual braces are truly invisible from the outside. Invisalign and ceramic braces are close behind. We will match the option to your case and lifestyle.
Why see an orthodontist instead of a general dentist for adult braces?
An orthodontist completes a full residency in tooth and jaw movement after dental school. Dr. Bonolo is a board-certified orthodontist who trained at the University of Pennsylvania, and orthodontics is all she does. In adult cases, where the bite has long since settled and the bone is mature, that planning experience is what keeps treatment predictable.
What do adult braces cost in Midland?
It depends on the option you choose and how much correction your case needs, so we give you exact pricing at your free consultation rather than a guess over the phone. We offer in-house financing, accept most dental insurance plans and will help you check your coverage. See financing and payment plans.
