Modern Orthodontic Options With Kid-Friendly Comforts
Our modern metal braces are smaller, sleeker, and more comfortable than ever before. With our fun, colorful band options, your child or teen can personalize their smile while we correct alignment issues.
Ceramic braces offer the same strength and precision as traditional braces, but with brackets that blend in naturally with your teeth. They’re a popular choice for teens and adults who want a more subtle look while perfecting their smile.
Clear aligners gently guide your teeth into place using smooth, nearly invisible trays custom-made for your smile. They’re removable, easy to clean, and designed to fit into active schedules, so your teen can stay active while their smile transforms.
For growing kids, early orthodontic treatment can set the stage for a lifetime of confident smiles. We monitor jaw and tooth development to spot potential issues early, guiding growth naturally to prevent the need for more extensive treatment down the road.
After treatment, we keep your new smile looking its best with comfortable, custom-made retainers. We provide easy-to-follow guidance and ongoing support to make sure your results last for years to come.
The Braces Journey: What to Expect
Consultation & Custom Treatment Plan
After you book your first visit, we get to know you, understand your goals, and take digital X-rays and a 3D iTero scan (no messy impressions needed) to get a clear image of your teeth and bite. This helps us create a custom treatment plan and explain exactly what you can expect at each stage.
Braces Placement Day
When it’s time to put your braces on, we’ll gently place your brackets and wires, explain how to care for them, and make sure you feel comfortable before you leave.
Progress Checkups & Comfort Adjustments
Every few weeks, you’ll come in for a quick visit where we check your progress and make small adjustments. These appointments keep your smile moving in the right direction.
Braces Off Day & Retainer Plan
When your new smile is ready, we’ll carefully remove your braces and fit you for a custom retainer to keep your teeth in place. You’ll leave with a brighter, more confident smile and the tools you need to keep it that way.
FAQs
The Most Common Questions We Hear About Braces
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an initial orthodontic evaluation around age 7. At this age, we can spot issues with jaw growth, spacing, and bite alignment—even if braces aren’t needed right away. Early evaluations allow us to guide growth and plan ahead for the best outcomes.
Treatment length varies based on your child’s age, dental development, and the complexity of their case. Most kids wear braces for 18–24 months. We’ll give you a clear estimate during your consultation and keep you updated throughout the journey.
It’s normal for children to feel some soreness after getting braces or adjustments, but this typically fades within a few days. We’ll offer tips for relief and are always here if your child has concerns or discomfort.
You can still play your favorite sports or instruments while wearing braces, just with a few small adjustments. We provide custom mouthguards to protect your smile and share helpful tips to make playing and performing easy.
