Braces For All Ages

Braces For All Ages

At Pfeffer Orthodontics, we believe it’s never too early—or too late—to invest in a confident, healthy smile. Whether your child is just starting out, your teen is ready to straighten things up, or you’re an adult finally prioritizing your smile, we offer personalized braces treatment for every stage of life.

Early Orthodontics for Kids

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children see an orthodontist around age seven. At this age, they typically have a mix of baby and adult teeth, making it the perfect time to spot and guide developing issues early on.

Early orthodontic care can help create space for crowded teeth, guide jaw growth, and even correct harmful habits, such as thumb sucking. If your child is showing signs like difficulty chewing, misaligned teeth, or early tooth loss, it’s a good time to come in for an evaluation. Catching problems early may help avoid more complex treatment later—and it all starts with a simple visit.

Orthodontics for Teens

Braces have come a long way! With sleek designs, comfortable materials, and a range of color options to personalize their look, today’s braces fit seamlessly into any teen’s lifestyle. We offer a variety of styles, including clear aligners and low-profile brackets, to suit every personality and preference.

Treatment time depends on the extent of early care, the specific needs that require correction, and how consistently your teen follows instructions. Whether it’s metal braces or a more discreet option, we’re here to help them feel confident and cared for every step of the way.

Adult Orthodontics

More adults than ever are getting braces—and with good reason. Orthodontic treatment can enhance bite function, improve oral hygiene, and boost self-confidence at any age. Whether it’s finishing treatment started in childhood or addressing new concerns, we offer flexible, aesthetic options like ceramic braces, clear aligners, and lingual braces.

Adult treatment may differ slightly due to fully developed jaws or existing dental conditions like gum disease or missing teeth. But rest assured, our experienced team is skilled in crafting solutions for adult smiles that are effective and discreet.

At Pfeffer Orthodontics, your smile is our passion—no matter your age.
