Confidence at Every Stage of Life
At Bailey-Welling Orthodontics, we believe beautiful smiles are attainable at any age. Modern orthodontic advances make treatment equally effective for children, teens, and adults. With comprehensive experience across all age groups, our doctors recognize that while teeth respond similarly to treatment, each stage requires a tailored approach. Treatment plans align with developmental phase, lifestyle requirements, and long-term aesthetic objectives.
Orthodontic Care for Children: Building the Cornerstone of Lifelong Oral Health
Early orthodontic assessments prove essential for developing smiles. Dr. Bailey, Dr. Welling and Dr. Cortez recommend evaluating Kaysville children around age seven to identify potential issues during jaw growth. Early appliances or braces guide proper development, correct bite problems, and create space for permanent teeth. Most children adapt quickly and enjoy customizing their braces with colorful options. Our doctors create welcoming, positive experiences that help young patients feel confident and motivated from the start.
Orthodontic Care for Teens: Building Confidence During the Formative Years
The adolescent years are ideal for full orthodontic care, as most adult teeth are in place and developmental growth supports correct positioning. Resolving issues during this stage avoids complicated problems subsequently. Our doctors provide teenagers in Layton with multiple choices, including modern metal fixtures, subtle transparent porcelain brackets, and Invisalign Teen for qualifying candidates. Recognizing educational, peer, and activity pressures, they assist each adolescent in choosing intervention that matches their routine, whether encompassing athletics, instruments, studies, or friendships.
Orthodontic Treatment for Grown-Ups: Revitalizing Expressions Throughout Life
Increasing numbers of adults currently select orthodontic intervention to improve smiles and dental wellness. Dr. Bailey, Dr. Welling and Dr. Cortez collaborate with adults investing in themselves, whether they overlooked previous opportunities, noticed dental migration, or desire transformation. Adult care demands extra coordination; our doctors partner with family dentists to manage current restorations and periodontal condition. Inconspicuous alternatives like transparent trays and cosmetic fixtures integrate effortlessly into career and private routines. Patients appreciate candid dialogue and personalized strategies that render treatment efficient and satisfying.
Frequently Asked Questions About Braces in Layton
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—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?
Teeth move the same way for everyone with braces, but how we plan treatment can differ by age. Kids and teens often see faster results because they’re still growing and their bone is more flexible, while adults might experience slower, steadier movement. At Bailey-Welling Orthodontics, we adjust our approach based on age , a helping guide jaw growth in younger patients, working around busy teen schedules, and being mindful of existing dental work or gum health in adults. Whatever your age, modern braces give patients in Layton effective, comfortable treatment that really works.
What types of braces are available for different age groups?
We offer comprehensive orthodontic solutions for all ages. Younger patients may need early-phase appliances or traditional metal braces to guide development. Teens can choose modern metal braces with colorful accents, clear ceramic braces, or Invisalign Teen. Adults often prefer discreet options like clear braces or Invisalign, though traditional braces remain effective for any age. At your consultation, our team will recommend the best treatment for your orthodontic goals and 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?
Yes. Adult orthodontic care at Bailey-Welling Orthodontics often involves collaboration between our doctors and your general dentist. This partnership accommodates existing dental work like crowns, bridges, or implants, ensures stable gum health before treatment, and accounts for bone structure differences affecting tooth movement. Many adults prefer discreet treatment options fitting their professional and personal lives. Today’s advanced orthodontic techniques make adult treatment smoother, more comfortable, and highly effective. With our team’s extensive adult patient experience, your care will be carefully customized to deliver outstanding results.
Our doctors are pleased to help children, teens, young adults and established individuals over 40 throughout the area with comprehensive orthodontic care.
