Why Should I Choose Braces?

Straight teeth are more than just beautiful. Not only does a straight smile make you feel more confident, but it also helps protect your oral health. Crooked teeth can contribute to oral health issues, such as a higher risk of cavities, premature wear and tear, a higher risk of TMJ/TMD (temporomandibular joint disorder), and more. Braces are a time-tested, cost-effective way to straighten your teeth, improve your bite, and enhance both your appearance and your oral health.

The Benefits of Braces

Correct a Wide Range of Issues

Braces can treat crowding, gaps, overbites, underbites, crossbites and more, including complex cases that other options may not handle as well.

Healthier Teeth and Gums

Straight teeth are easier to brush and floss, which lowers the risk of cavities and gum problems over time.

A Confident Smile

A well-aligned smile helps kids and teens feel good about how they look, and an even bite keeps teeth from wearing unevenly.

Adjustments & Retainers

Your child will come in every several weeks for adjustments. Once their teeth are in place, braces come off and retainers help keep the results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most children start braces between ages 9 and 14, once most of their permanent teeth have come in. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic check by age 7.

Treatment time varies with the case, but many children wear braces for about 18 to 24 months. Our orthodontist will give you an estimate during the consultation.

Getting braces doesn't hurt. Teeth may feel sore for a few days after placement and adjustments, which over-the-counter pain relief and soft foods can ease.

Cost depends on your child's treatment plan, the type of braces and how long treatment lasts. We'll go over costs, insurance and financing options with you before treatment starts.
