Braces for
Kids.
Smiles That Grow With Them.

It varies for every child. Many kids begin braces between ages 9 and 14, once enough adult teeth have come in. The best first step is a free exam so your orthodontist can review your child's growth and recommend the right timing.

We recommend an initial screening by age 7, mainly so we can track how adult teeth are coming in. That first look tells us whether to start now, wait, or just keep an eye on things at routine visits.

Metal braces use durable stainless-steel brackets, while ceramic braces use tooth-colored brackets for a more subtle look. Your orthodontist will help you weigh appearance, lifestyle, and cost to choose the best fit for your child.

We offer flexible plans starting from $188/month with $800 down · 0% in-house financing options for qualifying families, and we accept most major insurance. Your free initial exam ($99 value) includes a clear cost breakdown with no obligation.

Your child picks the colors of the elastic bands at every adjustment visit, so they can change them every few weeks. We keep a full range on hand, including school colors, holiday combinations, and single shades. Kids who want braces to stay subtle usually choose clear, silver or a shade close to their enamel.

The bands can pick up color from things like curry, tomato sauce, coffee and berries, but they are replaced at every visit so nothing is permanent. Lighter shades such as clear and white show staining fastest, so darker or brighter colors are the easier choice if that worries your child.

Yes. Teens choose new colors at every adjustment appointment, which is usually every four to eight weeks. It is a small thing, but it gives them some control over how their braces look while they are wearing them.
