Adult Braces, Reimagined
Braces don’t have to look or feel like the braces you remember.
From Iconix® champagne-gold braces and discreet clear ceramic braces to hidden Brava® braces and virtually invisible Invisalign® clear aligners, today’s adult orthodontic options give you more control over how your treatment looks and feels.
Dr. Lin takes that aesthetic approach even further, carefully considering how your teeth, lips and facial features work together to design a smile that feels balanced, natural and uniquely yours.
Beautiful Smiles We've Made at Fellow
Is it too late to get braces as an adult?
No. There is no upper age limit for adult orthodontic treatment as long as your teeth and supporting tissues are healthy enough for treatment.
Some adults never had orthodontic treatment when they were younger. Others notice their teeth shifting years after braces. And some simply decide that now is the right time to create a smile they feel more confident showing.

Your treatment should fit your smile, lifestyle and personal style.
Fellow Orthodontist offers a range of traditional, aesthetic and nearly invisible options for adults in NYC.

Frequently Asked Questions About Adult Orthodontics
Am I too old to get braces?
No. Adults can undergo orthodontic treatment at virtually any age as long as their teeth, gums and supporting bone are healthy enough for treatment.
Dr. Lin will evaluate your oral health and orthodontic needs before recommending treatment.
What are the best braces options for adults?
There isn’t one option that’s right for every adult.
Fellow Orthodontist offers Iconix champagne-gold braces, clear ceramic braces, traditional metal braces, Invisalign clear aligners and Brava hidden lingual braces.
Dr. Lin will recommend options based on your orthodontic needs, aesthetic preferences and lifestyle.
What are the most aesthetic braces for adults?
Adults who want fixed braces with a more elevated look may prefer Iconix champagne-gold braces, which feature warm, light-gold brackets instead of traditional silver ones.
Clear ceramic braces offer another discreet fixed option, while Invisalign and Brava provide even less visible approaches to treatment.

Possibly. Fellow Orthodontist offers Invisalign Touch-Up treatment for qualifying adults who need smaller corrections, including minor shifting after previous orthodontic treatment.
