Braces For Teens In Charleston, WV

Home » Braces » Braces For Teens

Boost Your Confidence With Braces For Teens

At Holmes & Palmer Orthodontics, we understand the changes that occur during adolescence and the effects these changes can have on self-esteem. That’s why we strive to make your teen’s orthodontic experience as positive, comfortable, and rewarding as possible.

We offer braces for teens in Charleston, WV, with a variety of brace options, so they can find something that works best for them. We think having a beautiful, healthy smile is something to be proud of because it boosts your self-confidence. Teens who undergo orthodontic treatment and are able to smile confidently have a whole new level of opportunities available to them, and we can support your teen in changing their life for the better. Schedule a complimentary consultation with one of our experienced orthodontists and they’ll help guide you through the process.

At Holmes & Palmer Orthodontics, we offer more than just braces; we also cultivate a family-like environment. In order to make everyone feel at home and secure during the course of treatment, we think it’s important to develop relationships with both our patients and their families.

Types Of Braces

Traditional Metal Braces

The most popular type of orthodontic treatment available is traditional metal braces. They use brackets and archwires to straighten your teeth and are made of premium stainless steel. Many teenagers who need orthodontic treatment still prefer traditional metal braces because they are reliable, efficient, and economical.

Ceramic Braces

Ceramic braces are similar to regular metal braces, with the distinction that the brackets are made of ceramic. This means that your braces will blend in better with the color of your natural teeth than typical metal braces. Ceramic braces are durable, dependable, and popular among teens seeking a more discreet orthodontic treatment.

What To Expect With Braces?

When you decide to move forward with braces at Holmes & Palmer Orthodontics, we will make sure that you have the information and support needed to maximize the efficacy of your treatment. We pay attention to the individualized needs of our patients so that everyone can feel comfortable and confident throughout their treatment.

The process begins with an in-office consultation with our team, where we will evaluate your teeth and discuss the treatment plan that is best suited to you. We will also go over the various types of braces we offer and what to expect during the course of treatment.

Once we’ve determined which type of braces is best for you, we’ll fit them on your teeth and make any necessary adjustments. You can expect regular visits throughout your treatment in order to monitor your progress and make any adjustments to ensure that your braces doing their job.

Life With Braces

While braces require some changes, they shouldn’t disrupt your lifestyle. It’s typical to feel sore when you first get your braces and after adjustments, but the discomfort can be eased by taking an over-the-counter painkiller and eating soft foods for a day or two. Friction between brackets and your lips may cause tenderness, but our team will provide you with orthodontic wax to cover any brackets causing issues.

The types of foods you eat while wearing braces can be a challenging lifestyle shift if you’re a huge fan of popcorn and candy! However, it’s important to remember that these changes are temporary and you’ll be back to eating your favorite foods in no time. Hard, sticky, or difficult-to-bite foods might loosen or damage your braces, causing discomfort or requiring an emergency visit to our office for a repair. When you first get your braces, we’ll fully explain what foods you can eat and which to avoid.

When you have braces, it is also vital to maintain good oral hygiene. Brush your teeth at least twice a day and use a flosser to clean in between your teeth and brackets. Because the tiny crevices around your braces act as a magnet for plaque and accumulation, it is critical that you keep up a detailed brushing and flossing regimen during treatment. We want to ensure that at the end of your treatment, you have both straight and healthy teeth!

Very friendly and experienced. Awesome with kids! My son, Evan is 9 and was a little nervous for his first orthodontist consult appointment. They worked well showing and explaining everything they were getting ready to do. Even let him “help” some!! He has a follow up in 6 months to see if it’s time for his braces then. He’s not as worried about his next appointment now. Highly recommend!! Thank you!
