More adults than ever are choosing orthodontic treatment, and for good reason. A properly aligned smile does more than improve appearance — it can reduce tooth wear, make cleaning easier, and contribute to better long-term oral health. At McCullum Orthodontics in Jeffersonville, Dr. Heather McCullum brings 14 years of clinical experience and a genuine commitment to meeting each adult patient where they are — whether you are straightening teeth for the first time, correcting relapse, or addressing a bite issue you have lived with for years.
According to the American Association of Orthodontists, nearly one in four orthodontic patients today is an adult — a number that has grown steadily. Adult teeth respond well to orthodontic forces, and with the right plan, results can be just as effective as those achieved during adolescence. Our free consultations are the right first step.
Some adults never had the opportunity to receive treatment when younger. Others had braces as teenagers but stopped wearing their retainers, leading to relapse that can be efficiently corrected with modern techniques. Many simply reach a point where they are ready to invest in themselves. Beyond aesthetics, misaligned or crowded teeth contribute to difficulty chewing, uneven enamel wear, and challenges maintaining proper oral hygiene — properly aligned teeth are easier to keep clean and reduce the long-term risk of tooth decay and gum disease.
Adult patients have more choices than ever. Dr. McCullum evaluates each patient individually and builds a plan around what actually needs attention — not a one-size-fits-all approach.
One of the most common concerns adults have is how treatment will fit into a busy professional life. Our Jeffersonville office offers efficient appointments that fit around a workday schedule. Dr. McCullum takes time to walk you through every step so you always know what to expect. After treatment, our team provides custom in-office 3D-printed retainers and a clear retention plan to keep your smile stable long term. We also offer in-office teeth whitening to complete the transformation.
Dr. Heather McCullum graduated as Valedictorian from the University of Louisville School of Dentistry, completed her orthodontic residency while serving as class president, and spent over a decade in private and group practice settings before returning home to open McCullum Orthodontics. Her approach is rooted in clinical precision, genuine care, and a dedication to making every patient feel at ease. Flexible financing options are available.
