Orthodontic treatment can be truly transformative at any age, and the health and confidence boosts are priceless. With recent advancements in teeth-straightening technology, there are now many more suitable braces options and alternatives that young adults will feel confident sporting even if they are past the typical braces-wearing age. At Stormberg Orthodontics, Dr. Stormberg and our team of orthodontic specialists work hard to provide a variety of orthodontic treatments for college students, and patients of all ages, in La Mesa, El Cajon, Santee, and across San Diego County, proudly serving students at the University of San Diego (USD), San Diego State University (SDSU), University of California San Diego (UCSD) and surrounding colleges.
Orthodontic Treatment Options
College is a time of incredible growth and change. We know how important it is for you to enjoy every moment of your college experience, and we’ll tailor your orthodontic treatment to your needs and lifestyle. Straight teeth can improve your oral and overall health, and give you the confidence you need to succeed in life. Our treatment options include:
- Traditional Metal Braces
The 3M Unitek, Victory Series braces are made up of high-grade stainless steel brackets and wires that provide a reliable, and cost-effective way to move your teeth.
- Clear Braces
Similar to traditional braces, our 3M Unitek Clarity Series is made up of a series of wires and brackets. Yet rather than being made of up stainless steel, they are composed of a clear ceramic composite that blends in with teeth, offering a more discreet look.
- Invisalign®
The Invisalign System uses a series of removable clear aligners to straighten your teeth, without anyone even noticing you’re undergoing treatment. The aligners can easily be removed to eat, drink, and for special occasions.

Advantages of Treatment in College
Whether you determine braces or Invisalign is best for you, there are many benefits to pursuing orthodontic treatment as a college student or adult:
- Efficient Treatment
Older patients are typically more responsible with their orthodontic appliances, which makes their treatment quick and efficient. If a student is consistent in their orthodontic care, they can have a straight smile by graduation!
- Improved Appearance
If you’re looking for a change, a straighter smile is an investment that will last a lifetime and a great way to improve your appearance. With treatment options like Invisalign, treatment remains discreet.
- Improved Oral Health
In addition to improved aesthetics, a straighter smile also improves your oral health. Straighter teeth make it easier to clean and protect your teeth, gums, and jawbones from diseases and decay for years to come.
- Confidence Booster
Feeling good about your appearance is always a confidence booster. A straighter smile can restore your self-esteem and happiness. It will eliminate any discomfort you may have in social situations, class presentations, or dates!
