What Are Braces?

Braces for Kids, Teens & Adults β€” Building Healthy, Beautiful Smiles

Braces are orthodontic devices used to align and straighten teeth while improving overall oral function. Small brackets are bonded to the teeth and connected by wires β€” sometimes supplemented by rubber bands β€” to apply gentle, consistent pressure that gradually moves teeth into their desired positions over time.

Orthodontic treatment is about more than achieving a beautiful smile β€” it plays a vital role in overall oral health. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. For most kids, braces are placed between ages 10 and 14, once the majority of permanent teeth have erupted. Adults can also benefit from braces at any age.

Common Reasons Kids & Adults Need Braces

  • Crowded teeth β€” overlapping teeth that are difficult to clean properly
  • Spacing gaps β€” gaps that affect alignment and bite function
  • Overbite, underbite, or crossbite β€” bite misalignments causing jaw pain and uneven wear
  • Early or late loss of baby teeth β€” disrupted permanent tooth alignment
  • Aesthetic concerns β€” crooked or uneven teeth that affect confidence

Types of Braces for Kids, Teens & Adults

Orthodontic technology has come a long way. Today's patients can choose from several types of braces designed to suit different lifestyles, needs, and aesthetic preferences.

βš™οΈ

Traditional Metal Braces

The most common and proven option β€” durable, highly effective for complex cases, and the most affordable. Kids can even customize with colorful rubber bands.

πŸͺŸ

Ceramic Braces

Clear or tooth-colored brackets that function like metal braces but blend with the natural tooth color β€” a popular choice for teens and adults seeking a less noticeable treatment.

✨

Clear Aligners (Invisalign)

For mild to moderate alignment issues, removable clear aligners offer a virtually invisible alternative to traditional braces for teens and adults.

What to Expect

The Braces Process β€” From Consultation to Your New Smile

Getting braces at Premier Orthodontic & Pediatric Dentistry in Wellington is a straightforward, well-guided journey. Here is what to expect at each stage:

1
Initial Consultation: The orthodontist examines your teeth, takes X-rays and photographs, and creates a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
2
Placement of Braces: Brackets are bonded to the teeth and connected with wires. The procedure is painless and typically takes 1–2 hours.
3
Regular Adjustments: Every 4–12 weeks, you'll visit the orthodontist for wire adjustments that continue moving teeth toward their ideal positions.
4
Completion & Retention: Once teeth are properly aligned, braces are removed to reveal your new smile. Custom retainers are provided to maintain the results long-term.

Most patients wear braces for 18–24 months, though complex cases may require more time. Your orthodontist will provide a personalized timeline during your free consultation.

  • Attend all scheduled appointments to keep treatment on track and catch any issues early

Frequently Asked Questions About Braces in Wellington, FL

The duration of treatment varies depending on the complexity of the case, but most patients wear braces for 18 to 24 months. More complex bite corrections may require additional time. Your orthodontist will provide a personalized timeline estimate during your free consultation.

The placement of braces is painless. Some tenderness or mild soreness may occur for a few days after the initial placement and after each adjustment appointment as teeth begin to move. This is normal and typically manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers. Most patients adapt quickly and find braces very comfortable.

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. Most children begin braces treatment between ages 10 and 14, once most permanent teeth have erupted. However, orthodontic treatment is effective at any age β€” we also welcome teens and adults for braces and clear aligner treatment.

The cost of braces depends on the type chosen and the length of treatment. Many dental insurance plans offer orthodontic benefits that can substantially reduce out-of-pocket costs. Our team will verify your insurance coverage before treatment begins. We also offer flexible in-house financing and payment plans through Cherry and CareCredit. Call (561) 333-4568 to discuss your coverage and options.

Once braces are removed, custom retainers are provided to maintain the new position of your teeth. Without retainers, teeth naturally tend to shift back over time. Retainers are typically worn full-time for the first several months after treatment, then transitioned to nighttime-only wear. Regular dental check-ups continue to be important during and after the retention phase.
