Metal Braces

- Colorful Options — Choose fun, customizable elastic bands to add personality to your braces.
- Affordable & Efficient — Often the most cost-effective option with excellent results.
Metal braces remain a popular choice for kids, teens, and adults looking for an effective, time-tested way to straighten their smiles.
Clear Ceramic Braces
For patients looking for a more discreet option, clear ceramic braces offer the same powerful results as metal braces but with a more natural appearance. The brackets are made from a tooth-colored ceramic material that blends in with your smile, making them far less noticeable.
- Aesthetic Appeal — Blends in with natural teeth for a more subtle look.
- Same Effectiveness as Metal Braces — Works just as well for straightening teeth and correcting bite issues.
- Great for Teens & Adults — Ideal for patients who want a less visible treatment option.
Ceramic braces are a fantastic choice for patients who want the benefits of braces without the noticeable metal look.

Braces For Kids
Early orthodontic care can have a big impact on your child’s future smile. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic evaluation around age seven. At this stage, we can identify bite issues, crowding, or jaw development concerns and determine if early treatment (also known as Phase One orthodontics) would benefit your child.
Braces for kids are designed to:
- Correct bite and alignment issues early, preventing more serious concerns later.
- Create space for incoming permanent teeth, reducing the need for extractions in the future.
- Improve functionand speech development, making eating and speaking easier.
At \Just Kids Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, we offer gentle, kid-friendly orthodontic care to make the process fun and stress-free. With options like traditional metal braces and clear ceramic braces, your child can choose the treatment that best suits their needs. Plus, with customizable elastic band colors, kids can make their braces as fun and unique as their personalities!
Starting orthodontic care at the right time can set the foundation for a beautiful, healthy smile that lasts a lifetime. If your child is ready for braces or if you’d like to schedule an evaluation, we’re here to help!
Braces for Teens
The teen years are the most common time for orthodontic treatment. By this stage, most permanent teeth have erupted, making it the perfect time to straighten teeth, correct bite issues, and create a healthy, confident smile.
Braces for teens offer more than just cosmetic benefits — they can also:
- Improve dental health by making teeth easier to clean and reducing the risk of cavities.
- Correct bite problems that may cause jaw pain, speech issues, or uneven wear on teeth.
- Boost confidence, helping teens feel great about their smile during an important stage of self-expression.
At Just Kids Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, we offer both metal and clear ceramic braces so teens can choose the option that best fits their style. Metal braces allow those who want a fun and personalized look to change the color of their elastics at each visit!
We understand that teens have busy schedules, so we make the orthodontic process as easy and convenient as possible with efficient treatment plans, flexible appointment times, and expert guidance every step of the way.
