The Importance of Braces For Children and Teens
Braces for kids and braces for teens do more than create a beautiful smile. They also correct problems such as crowding, spacing, overbites, and crossbites. Left untreated, these issues can lead to difficulty chewing, speech problems, or uneven wear on teeth. Early orthodontic care gives children the best chance at a healthy smile that lasts a lifetime.
Most children are ready for braces between the ages of 10 and 14, but every child is unique. That’s why we recommend an orthodontic evaluation around age seven. Early monitoring helps us decide the right time to begin treatment and, in some cases, prevent more serious issues later.

Types of Braces We Offer
Damon® Clear Braces
Our office is proud to offer Damon® Clear Braces, which use advanced self-ligating technology instead of traditional elastic ties. The result is less friction, gentler tooth movement, and fewer adjustment appointments. Damon Clear Braces are also nearly invisible, giving teens the confidence of a discreet treatment with the effectiveness of braces.

We also provide the latest advancement in the Damon system—Damon® Ultima Braces. This innovative design gives orthodontists more precise control over tooth movement, helping achieve better alignment with less guesswork. The brackets and wires are specially engineered to create smoother adjustments, which means treatment can often be completed in less time and with greater comfort. Families who want the efficiency of modern technology combined with proven results often find Damon Ultima Braces to be the perfect fit.
For teens looking for alternatives to braces, we also offer Spark® Clear Aligners, a type of orthodontic treatment similar to Invisalign. During your consultation, we’ll review all of your options to help you find the one that best suits your needs.
