Braces Orthodontics for Kids and Adults

At Bayside Dental, we offer tailored orthodontic solutions for patients of all ages. The ideal time for children to start treatment is typically in their early teens—around 12 years old—when teeth and jaws are still developing. However, adults can also benefit from braces at any stage of life. Contact us today to explore your options!

Your Braces Orthodontic Journey: What to Expect

Step 1: Getting a Referral

Our skilled orthodontists at Bayside Dental prefer patients to have a referral before scheduling a consultation. If you think braces might be right for you or your child, call our hotline to book an appointment and discuss your needs with our Discovery Bay team.

Step 2: Initial Consultation

During your initial 30-minute consultation, our orthodontist will assess your teeth and bite to determine if braces are necessary and how they can benefit you.

Step 3: Dental X-Rays and Scans

We use advanced imaging technology to capture detailed scans of your teeth and jaw structure, ensuring a personalized treatment plan.

Step 4: Fitting Your Braces

The brace-fitting appointment takes about an hour—one of the longest steps in the process. Our team ensures a comfortable and precise fit.

Step 5: Regular Adjustments

After fitting, you’ll visit us monthly for adjustments and progress checks. These appointments ensure your teeth align correctly over time.

Step 6: Braces Removal and Retainers

Once your treatment is complete (typically 18–24 months), we’ll remove your braces. Retainers are then provided to maintain your new smile for years to come.

Types of Braces We Offer

Fixed Braces: Metal and Ceramic Options

Fixed braces are the most popular choice for straightening teeth. Small brackets are bonded to your teeth, connected by a wire that our orthodontist adjusts monthly to guide your teeth into place.

Metal Braces: Made from high-grade stainless steel, durable and effective.
Ceramic Braces: Crafted from translucent ceramic, offering a discreet alternative to metal.

Both options deliver excellent results—ceramic braces are simply less noticeable.

Removable Braces

Ideal for children aged 7–10 with mixed dentition (baby and permanent teeth), removable braces help guide growing teeth and jaws into proper alignment during this critical developmental stage.

Functional Appliances (Dentofacial Orthopedics)

Functional appliances correct jaw growth and alignment, often recommended for children with developing jaws. Available in fixed or removable designs, our orthodontist will choose the best type for your child’s needs.

Retainers: The Final Step

Post-treatment, retainers prevent your teeth from shifting back. We offer:

Fixed Retainers: A thin wire bonded behind your front teeth.
Removable Retainers: A wire and acrylic combination worn as needed.
