Confidence at Every Stage of Life
At Bailey-Welling Orthodontics, we believe a beautiful smile is achievable at any age. Thanks to modern orthodontic advancements, treatment can be just as effective for children as it is for teens and adults. With extensive experience caring for patients from early childhood through adulthood, our doctors understand that while teeth respond to treatment in similar ways, each age group requires a customized approach. Treatment plans are carefully designed to align with a patient’s stage of growth, lifestyle needs, and long-term smile goals.
Orthodontic Care for Children: Building the Cornerstone of Lifelong Oral Health
Early orthodontic evaluations can play a vital role in a child’s developing smile. Dr. Bailey, Dr. Welling, and Dr. Cortez recommend seeing children in Centerville around age 7 to spot potential concerns while the jaws are still growing. Early appliances or braces can guide proper jaw development, improve bite alignment, and make room for incoming permanent teeth. Most children adjust quickly to treatment and often enjoy personalizing their braces with fun color options. Our doctors are committed to creating a welcoming, positive experience that helps young patients feel confident, comfortable, and motivated from the very beginning.
Orthodontic Care for Teens: Building Confidence During the Formative Years
The teenage years are an ideal time for full orthodontic treatment, since most permanent teeth are in place and natural growth can help guide proper alignment. Addressing orthodontic concerns at this stage can prevent more complex issues later in life. Our doctors are here to provide teens in Centerville with a range of treatment options, including advanced metal braces, low-profile clear ceramic braces, and Invisalign Teen for qualifying patients. She understands the academic, social, and extracurricular pressures teens face and works closely with each individual to select a treatment option that complements their daily activities—whether that includes sports, music, school responsibilities, or social life.
Orthodontic Solutions for Adults: Transforming Smiles at Any Age
More adults than ever are choosing orthodontic treatment to improve both their smiles and overall oral health. Dr. Bailey, Dr. Welling and Dr. Cortez enjoy working with adult patients who are ready to prioritize themselves, whether they missed the opportunity for treatment earlier, experienced shifting teeth over time, or are simply motivated to make a change now. Adult orthodontic care often involves additional planning, and our doctors coordinate closely with general dentists to accommodate existing dental work and support healthy gums. With discreet options such as clear aligners and aesthetic braces, treatment fits comfortably into professional and personal routines. Patients appreciate her honest communication and customized approach, which make the process smooth, supportive, and rewarding.
Frequently Asked Questions About Braces in Centerville
At what age can someone start orthodontic treatment with braces?
Our doctors can assess children for orthodontic concerns beginning around age seven. Although full braces treatment usually begins between ages 11 and 13, once most adult teeth are in place, certain children may benefit from earlier care to guide proper development. At our practice, we will carefully evaluate each child to recommend the most appropriate time to start treatment. Orthodontic care isn’t limited by age and there is no maximum age for braces. Our doctors have helped patients in their 60s and 70s achieve healthier, more confident smiles, showing that it’s always a good time to invest in your smile.
Do braces work differently for children, teens, and adults?
The way teeth shift in response to orthodontic treatment is consistent at any age, but the planning and approach can vary. In children and teenagers, teeth often respond more quickly thanks to ongoing growth and softer bone density, while adults may experience more gradual movement. At Bailey-Welling Orthodontics, our team tailors treatment to these age-related considerations such as guiding jaw development in younger patients, accommodating the demanding schedules of teens, and carefully managing existing dental restorations or periodontal health in adults. No matter your age, today’s advanced braces options allow patients in Centerville to enjoy efficient, comfortable, and reliable orthodontic care.
What types of braces are available for different age groups?
We provide a full range of orthodontic solutions designed for patients at every stage of life. Younger patients may benefit from early-phase appliances or classic metal braces to guide proper development. Teenagers have several choices, including modern metal braces with fun color accents, subtle clear ceramic braces, or Invisalign Teen clear aligners. Many adults gravitate toward more discreet treatments such as clear braces or Invisalign, although traditional braces continue to be a reliable and effective option for patients of any age. During your consultation, our team will help determine the most suitable treatment based on your individual orthodontic goals and everyday lifestyle.
How long does treatment take at different ages?
How long orthodontic treatment takes is influenced primarily by the severity of the case rather than the patient’s age, although children and teens may experience quicker progress because of ongoing growth. For many patients, our doctors estimate treatment to last about 12 to 18 months for simpler cases and closer to 18 to 24 months for more involved corrections, regardless of age. Children who begin early treatment may complete an initial Phase 1 in approximately 9 to 18 months. During your consultation, Dr. Bailey, Dr. Welling and Dr. Cortez will outline a customized treatment schedule based on your specific orthodontic needs, not broad age-related assumptions.
Are there special considerations for adult braces that differ from children's treatment?
Absolutely. Adult orthodontic care at Bailey-Welling Orthodontics frequently involves close collaboration between our doctors and your general dentist. This teamwork helps accommodate existing dental restorations such as crowns, bridges, or implants, confirm that gum health is stable before treatment begins, and account for differences in bone structure that can influence how teeth shift. Many adult patients also prefer subtle treatment solutions that blend easily into their professional and personal lives. The advantage is that today’s advanced orthodontic techniques make treatment for adults smoother, more comfortable, and more effective than ever before. With our team’s extensive background in treating adult patients, you can feel confident that your care will be thoughtfully tailored to your needs while achieving outstanding results.
