Braces For Kids
Laying the Foundation for a Lifetime of Healthy Smiles
Early orthodontic care is about more than just straightening teeth — it’s about guiding healthy development. At Meier Orthodontics, we offer braces for children as part of our proactive approach to Phase One treatment, typically started between ages seven and ten. By identifying issues early, we can often minimize the need for more extensive treatment later.
Braces for kids may be recommended to:
- Create space for permanent teeth to erupt properly
- Correct jaw growth and bite alignment issues early
- Address crossbites, underbites, or open bites
- Help kids breathe, speak, and chew more comfortably
We know early treatment can sound intimidating, but we make the process positive and low-stress. Our friendly team takes time to explain everything to both kids and parents, and our ocean-inspired, cozy office environment helps children feel relaxed and at ease during every visit.
Early care now means fewer worries later—and a lifetime of confident smiles.
Braces for Teens
Confident Smiles Through the High School Years
The teenage years are the prime time for orthodontic treatment. At this stage, most permanent teeth are in place, and the jaws are still developing, making it an ideal window for correction. Whether your teen needs mild alignment or more complex bite correction, we have modern braces options that match their personality and goals.
Our braces options for teens include:
- Iconix Rose Gold Braces – stylish and subtle for teens who want to stand out
- Metal Twin Brackets – classic, durable, and highly effective
- Damon Clear Braces – nearly invisible with fewer adjustments
- LightForce Braces – custom-printed for efficient, personalized treatment
We know life as a teen is busy. That’s why we offer:
- On-time appointments and flexible scheduling
- A supportive team that makes treatment feel like a win—not a chore
- A fun, tech-forward environment that encourages teens to stay engaged in their care
Braces for teens at Meier Orthodontics are about more than just the end result, they’re about building confidence every step of the way.
