Many people associate braces with teenagers, but the truth is, it’s never too late to achieve the smile you’ve always wanted. If you’re an adult in Ocala considering orthodontic treatment, you have more options than ever before. At Dentistry at Bridlewood, our team at Stephen H. Dunn & Associates, led by Dr. Stephen H. Dunn and Dr. Guneshi de Mel, is here to show you why you shouldn’t hesitate to invest in your smile.

Modern dentistry offers discreet and effective solutions perfect for adult lifestyles. Gone are the days when metal brackets were the only choice. Today, clear aligners provide a nearly invisible way to straighten your teeth and improve your oral health.
Why More Adults are Choosing Orthodontic Treatment
The decision to straighten your teeth as an adult is about more than just aesthetics. While a confident smile is a major benefit, properly aligned teeth are also easier to clean, reducing your risk of cavities and gum disease. Correcting bite issues can also alleviate jaw pain, headaches, and uneven wear on your teeth.
With advanced options available, improving your smile is more convenient than ever. You no longer have to feel self-conscious about undergoing treatment. Instead, you can pursue a healthier, more confident you without putting your professional or social life on hold.
The Clear Aligner Advantage: Introducing ClearCorrect®
At Dentistry at Bridlewood, we are proud to offer ClearCorrect® clear braces, a leading choice for adult orthodontics. This innovative system uses a series of custom-made, transparent plastic aligners to gradually shift your teeth into their ideal position. The process is simple, comfortable, and highly effective for a wide variety of orthodontic needs.
Clear aligner therapy is incredibly versatile, making it a great option for many age groups. Whether you’re a busy professional, a parent, or simply ready for a change, this treatment can be tailored to fit your life.
How ClearCorrect® Works
Your journey begins with a consultation where Dr. Dunn or Dr. de Mel will create a precise 3D model of your teeth. This model is used to design a customized treatment plan that maps out the step-by-step movement of your teeth. You will receive a series of aligners, each one designed to be worn for a few weeks before moving on to the next. You simply wear the aligners throughout the day and night, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
Key Benefits of ClearCorrect®
- Discreet Appearance: The aligners are virtually invisible, so most people won’t even know you’re undergoing treatment.
- Enhanced Comfort: Made from smooth plastic, ClearCorrect® aligners won’t irritate your cheeks or gums like traditional metal braces.
- Convenience and Flexibility: Since the aligners are removable, you can continue to enjoy all your favorite foods and maintain your normal oral hygiene routine with ease.
- Proven Effectiveness: ClearCorrect® can treat a wide range of issues, including crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, and underbites, delivering predictable and beautiful results.
