Braces for Kids, Teens & Adults

Perfecting Smiles since 2008

Types of Braces

At Braces World Orthodontics, we believe that your smile should reflect you. That’s why we offer more than one type of braces, so you can choose the treatment that fits your goals, your lifestyle, and your personality.

Whether you’re looking for something classic and reliable or a more discreet option, we’re here to guide you every step of the way. Our team will help you choose the best braces for your needs, with comfort, aesthetics, and results in mind.

Traditional Metal Braces

Metal braces have come a long way. Today’s versions are smaller, smoother, and more comfortable than ever—while still being incredibly effective at correcting a wide range of bite and alignment issues.

This tried-and-true option gives you the power to make big changes with precision and predictability. Plus, you can customize your look with colored bands that show off your personality or school spirit.

Why patients love metal braces:

  • Great for all ages and all levels of treatment complexity
  • Affordable and highly effective
  • Durable and low-maintenance
  • Fun color options for a personalized touch

Metal braces remain a popular choice for kids, teens, and adults alike, and with today’s technology, they’re more efficient and comfortable than ever before.

Clear Braces

If you’re looking for a more low-profile option, clear braces may be the perfect fit. These braces work just like metal ones but are made with tooth-colored or translucent ceramic materials that blend in with your natural smile.

Clear braces are especially popular with older teens and adults who want the reliability of traditional braces without the bold appearance of metal brackets. They’re discreet, stylish, and just as effective for most orthodontic cases.

Clear braces offer:

  • A more subtle, less noticeable appearance
  • The same treatment power as metal braces
  • Smooth, stain-resistant materials
  • A great option for professionals or those seeking a more refined look

With clear braces, you get the best of both worlds—trusted results and a more natural look throughout treatment.

Not sure which braces are right for you? Schedule your free consultation, and we’ll walk you through your options, answer all your questions, and help you make the best decision for your smile.

Braces for Kids

Braces For Kids

Orthodontic care for kids isn’t just about straightening teeth—it’s about guiding healthy growth from the start. At Braces World Orthodontics, we recommend that children come in for their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. At this age, we can detect issues with jaw development, spacing, bite alignment, and more—even before all the permanent teeth have come in.

Not every child will need treatment this early, but for those who do, early intervention can make a big difference. We may recommend limited braces, expanders, or other gentle appliances to create space for incoming teeth, improve the bite, or correct habits like thumb-sucking that may impact development.

When kids are ready for braces, we use child-friendly approaches to make the experience positive and fun. Our team is great with younger patients, helping them feel comfortable and confident at every appointment. We also offer durable metal braces with colorful elastic ties that kids love to customize at each visit.

Early treatment can help reduce the need for more complex procedures later, such as extractions or jaw surgery. More importantly, it helps your child develop a strong, healthy smile from a young age, and gives them a boost of confidence that can last a lifetime.

We’ll guide you every step of the way, from evaluation to treatment and beyond, with honest recommendations and personalized care tailored to your child’s growth and development.

Braces for Teens

Braces for Teens

The teenage years are a prime time for orthodontic treatment. At this stage, most of the permanent teeth are in place, and the jaw is still growing—making it the perfect time to address alignment and bite issues efficiently and effectively.

At Braces World Orthodontics, we understand that teens have a lot going on—school, sports, social events, and everything in between. That’s why we offer flexible treatment options that blend in with their busy lives. We provide both traditional metal braces and clear ceramic braces, allowing your teen to choose the style that fits their personality and confidence level.

Metal braces remain a popular choice for teens because they’re effective, customizable, and fun. With colorful elastic bands to change at each visit, teens can show off their personality while staying on track with their treatment. For those who prefer a more subtle look, our clear braces offer the same reliable results with a lower profile appearance.

We also prioritize convenience. Our scheduling is flexible, and our team works hard to keep appointments efficient, so teens can get back to what matters most. We involve both parents and patients throughout the process, providing education, updates, and support at every visit.

With a supportive, upbeat atmosphere and expert care from our doctors and team, teens not only get great results—they also gain confidence, independence, and a reason to smile. Braces don’t have to be a hassle. At Braces World Orthodontics, we make sure there’s something to feel good about.

Braces for Adults

Braces for Adults

Orthodontic treatment isn’t just for kids and teens—more adults than ever are choosing to improve their smiles, and we’re here to support that decision every step of the way. Whether you’re addressing long-standing concerns or want to correct minor shifting from past treatment, adult braces can deliver lasting results that boost your confidence and oral health.

At Braces World Orthodontics, we understand that adult patients have unique needs. You want a treatment that’s discreet, effective, and fits your busy schedule. That’s why we offer modern options like clear ceramic braces, which blend in with your natural teeth for a more subtle look. For patients who prefer a traditional route, metal braces remain a highly effective solution, and today’s versions are sleeker and more comfortable than ever.

We take the time to personalize every adult treatment plan. Whether you’re managing work, family, or personal goals, we’ll tailor your care to fit your routine. Our team offers flexible scheduling and financing options to help make the process stress-free and attainable.

Braces for adults can also improve more than just aesthetics—they can correct bite issues, reduce wear and tear on teeth, and enhance long-term oral health. And with our advanced technology and expert guidance, your treatment will be precise, efficient, and designed for success.

No matter your age or stage of life, it’s never too late to love your smile. At Braces World Orthodontics, we’re here to help you achieve results you’ll be proud of—discreetly, comfortably, and with care that fits you.

Types of Braces We Offer

Braces FAQ

At what age should my child get braces?

Every child is different, but we recommend an orthodontic evaluation around age 7. This doesn’t always mean braces right away. Sometimes, early monitoring is all that’s needed. If early treatment is recommended, we’ll explain why and what the benefits are.

Do braces hurt?

Braces don’t “hurt,” but you may feel some pressure or soreness for a few days after they’re placed or adjusted. This is completely normal and usually fades quickly. We’ll give you tips for managing any discomfort.

What’s the difference between metal and clear braces?

Metal braces are durable, cost-effective, and great for all ages. Clear braces work the same way but use ceramic materials that blend in with your natural tooth color, making them more discreet—especially popular with older teens and adults.

Can adults really get braces?

Absolutely! Adult orthodontics is more common than ever. Whether it’s your first time or you’re fixing a relapse from past treatment, braces can help improve your smile, bite, and overall oral health—at any age.

What foods should I avoid with braces?

You’ll want to steer clear of hard, sticky, or chewy foods that can damage your braces. But don’t worry—we’ll give you a full list of what to avoid and helpful tips to keep your treatment on track.

How do I get started?

It all begins with a free consultation! We’ll take photos and digital X-rays, assess your smile, and talk through your best treatment options. From there, we’ll answer all your questions and help you take the first step toward a healthier, more confident smile.

Shelby F.
Amazing, professional, fast and transparent. No hidden fees, and the doctors are very personable. They listened to my problems and solved them immediately. It's SO HARD to find a healthcare professional that deals with TMJ and doesn't just refer you elsewhere in an endless cycle. There was NONE of that. They gave me a solution and within a week I was implementing it into my routine. I am ENDLESSLY THANKFUL and my jaw is already alleviated, getting better by the day.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Shelby! We're delighted to hear about your positive experience with our team. Your satisfaction and progress mean a lot to us. We're here to support you every step of the way!
