If you’re exploring adult orthodontics Mount Laurel NJ options, you’re in good company — orthodontic treatment isn’t just for teenagers anymore, and it’s never too late to ask about it.
Maybe you skipped braces as a kid. Maybe you wore them and your teeth have shifted since. Either way, Dr. Len Ellis and Dr. Simona Lekht, both board-certified orthodontists, see adult patients every week for exactly these reasons — and the treatment options available today are far more discreet than what you may remember from adolescence.
Teeth don’t stop moving once you’re grown. Small shifts over the years can lead to crowding, bite changes, and even jaw discomfort — issues that are just as treatable in your 30s, 40s, or 60s as they are at 12.
Adults typically consider treatment for a few reasons:
- Correcting long-standing self-consciousness about crooked or gapped teeth
- Addressing teeth that have shifted noticeably since adolescence
- Preventing longer-term issues like abnormal wear, gum problems, or bite strain
Whatever brings you in, the priority is the same: care that fits around your job, not the other way around. That’s why we offer a virtual consultation option for a first look at your case before you ever need to take time off.

Adult Orthodontics FAQs
Am I too old for braces or Invisalign?
No — there’s no upper age limit for orthodontic treatment. As the American Association of Orthodontists notes, adults now make up a significant share of orthodontic patients nationwide.
Will treatment be obvious at work?
Not necessarily. Many adult patients choose Invisalign or clear braces specifically because they’re hard to notice in everyday conversation or on a video call.
How is adult treatment different from treatment for kids or teens?
The mechanics are similar, but adult treatment plans often need to account for factors like previous dental work, gum health, or teeth that have shifted after years without orthodontic care.

Patients Rave About Us
★★★★★
“If you’re looking for an orthodontist, look no further. I’ve been waiting to write this review until after I finished my Invisalign treatment. And let me tell you from the second you walk in to the second you walk out you’re treated like you’re family. Michelle at the front desk is a Saint,my work schedule is very hectic and I had to constantly change my appointment and Michelle did it with ease and kindness. The women that work there are the nicest and sweetest people who genuinely care, which in todays world is hard to come by. Lastly, Dr. Ellis is amazing, he’s calm, cool, collective and just makes you feel so comfortable. I was very particular about my teeth , and I wanted them beyond perfect, he listened to my concerns, and my teeth came out exactly how I wanted them. Also, I shopped around a minimum of 10 orthodontists before coming to Dr. Ellis and I wish I didn’t waste all that time, but I’m so grateful to of found them. And they were the most affordable out of everyone. 10/10 recommend this orthodontist !!”

“I highly recommend Dr. Ellis and his office staff. As an adult, who later in life wanted to correct my teeth, after having braces in my teens, I reached out to Dr Ellis for Invisalign. I found his pricing for the Invisalign to be fair and reasonable. I have always had a pleasurable experience with Dr Ellis, the hygienists, and office staff. Dr Ellis is easy-going and friendly. I recommend him for all orthodontic needs!”

“I got braces from Dr. Ellis 25 years ago. Recently my general dentist noticed that my teeth have moved a bit so I made an appointment to see him again. He and the rest of the staff (many of whom are the same) were just as welcoming and friendly as ever. He put me at ease (I was worried I would need involved treatment) adjusted my old retainers (both of which have held up all this time), and I’ll follow up in a few months. It was great to see him again and be reassured. I would definitely recommend the office to anyone in the area!”
