Walk into any middle school or high school across the country, and you're probably going to see dozens if not hundreds of kids with braces affixed to their teeth. And when it comes to adults, orthodontic procedures can be just as common.

There are plenty of options for grown-ups who want to straighten out their smiles, with varying price points and degrees of visibility.

“Essentially, they're all different types of braces," says Dr. John Buzzatto, an orthodontist and the current president of the American Association of Orthodontists. These braces are pretty much the kind you would see on those schoolkids, too, but the options for adults tend to be a bit more discreet than the stainless steel variety. “That’s where we come into the more aesthetic, or less notable braces," says Buzzatto.
