Contrary to popular belief, juvenile records are (almost never) automatically sealed when you reach 18. Adults with a juvenile record must petition to have their juvenile records sealed. The requirements for this vary by state, but most require that several (typically three to five) years have passed since the completion of your court involvement. This refers to the point after which all fines have been payed, community service has been completed, and probation time has been served. You will need to submit the petition document(s) required by your state/county, along with a possible fee. A hearing will later be held to determine your eligibility to have your record sealed. Contact your attorney or probation officer to learn more about your state's requirements for having a juvenile record sealed.
