Orthodontic Treatment for Adults

Adults seek alignment care for many reasons — shifting over time, unfinished care from earlier years, or simply a desire for a more comfortable bite. At KHL Orthodontics LLC in Northvale, NJ, Dr. Kristine M. Hyon, DMD, MS, works with adult patients to evaluate spacing, crowding, and jaw alignment and to map out a plan suited to a busy, established life.

Options Built Around Adult Life

Invisalign — clear, removable aligners that fit easily into work and social settings.
Clear Ceramic Brackets — tooth-colored brackets for a more discreet alternative to metal.
Self-Ligating Brackets — low-friction brackets that can mean fewer adjustment visits.
Lingual Braces — positioned out of view for patients who prefer a hidden approach.

Planning With Precision

Before any appliance is placed, imaging and digital tools help chart a clear course for treatment.

Digital Panoramic X-Ray — low-radiation imaging that maps the full jaw and root structure.
Cephalometric Imaging — side-profile skeletal X-rays that guide bite and jaw diagnosis.
3D Treatment Planning — digital simulations that preview movement before treatment starts.
Digital Impression Scanning — bite-free scans that replace messy putty impressions.

KHL Orthodontics LLC accepts a variety of insurance carriers, including Delta Dental, MetLife, Aetna, Principal, Cigna, Guardian, UnitedHealthcare and many others, and can help estimate your benefits.
