Braces For All: Comprehensive Orthodontic Services
Welcome to our specialized orthodontic practice in College Station and Caldwell, where we cater to people of all ages, ensuring a healthy and beautiful smile through customized treatments , including Invisalign. Our services are tailored to meet children, teens, and adults' unique needs. Below, you'll find detailed insights into our offerings based on age group, emphasizing innovative solutions like Invisalign for optimal dental alignment and aesthetics.
1. Orthodontics for Children
Early Orthodontic Assessment
The American Association of Orthodontists advises that children visit an orthodontist around the age of seven. This is an optimal time as most children will have both baby and adult teeth, allowing for early diagnosis and correction of potential oral issues , often preventing surgery later.
Benefits of Early Treatment
Early intervention can significantly benefit dental development by:
-
Regulating the width of the upper and lower dental arches
-
Creating space for crowded teeth and avoiding later extractions
-
Correcting harmful oral habits like thumb sucking that affect the teeth and speech
Signs Your Child May Need Braces
Consider orthodontic consultation if your child shows signs such as:
-
Loss of baby teeth too early or too late
-
Difficulty in chewing or biting
-
Mouth breathing or thumb sucking
-
Crowded, misplaced, or blocked teeth
-
Abnormal jaw sounds or improper teeth closure
Early treatment is not just about aesthetics; it sets a foundation for oral health. Schedule a child's evaluation with our practice today to learn more about our treatment options.
2. Orthodontics for Teens
Embracing the Braces
Hearing "YOU NEED BRACES" can be daunting for teens, but with today's advancements in orthodontic technology, wearing braces is more accessible, comfortable, and stylish. Our orthodontic practice offers various types of braces to suit personal preferences and orthodontic needs.
Available Options
At Brazos Valley Orthodontics, teens can choose from:
-
Traditional metal braces
-
Ceramic braces (tooth-colored)
-
Lingual braces (positioned behind the teeth)
Treatment Duration
The duration of wearing braces depends on the following:
-
Early treatment and monitoring by our orthodontists
-
Specific dental issues needing correction
-
The patient's adherence to care instructions for braces and appliances
Teens are encouraged to actively participate in their orthodontic journey, as cooperation dramatically influences the treatment timeline and outcome.
3. Orthodontics for Adults
Why Adults Choose Orthodontic Care
More and more adults are now seeking orthodontic treatment for various reasons:
-
Correction of bad bites or malocclusion
-
Addressing crowded or spaced-apart teeth
-
Resolving jaw pain or pressure from crooked teeth

A desire for a better oral health and a more confident smile
Treatment Options for Adults

Unique Considerations for Adult Orthodontics
Adult treatment differs from younger patients as:
-
Adults are more likely to experience gum recession and bone loss
-
Issues like worn-out or missing teeth may require additional orthodontic care
-
Some adults may complete previously unfinished orthodontic treatments
Our practice recognizes that adults and children require different levels of care and attention. We are committed to providing the most appropriate treatments to fulfill individual needs and schedules.
Why Consider Braces?
Regardless of age, orthodontic treatment can significantly enhance oral health and overall well-being:
-
Properly aligned teeth are much easier to clean, reducing the risk of decay and gum disease
-
Straight teeth can boost self-confidence and improve quality of life
-
Delaying necessary orthodontic care can lead to long-term health issues, potentially increasing future medical costs
