Orthodontic Treatment for Every Age
The Right Treatment, at the Right Time
Every smile is different. Dr. Brieden starts with a thorough evaluation, then builds a personalized plan using braces or clear aligners, whether it's a first check-up at age 7 or a smile you've waited decades to fix.
Ages 7 & Up
Early Treatment
A first orthodontic check-up by age 7 lets Dr. Brieden catch bite and crowding issues while the jaw is still growing, often making later treatment shorter and simpler.

Teens
Adolescent Treatment
The most common time for braces or clear aligners. Permanent teeth are in and growth works in our favor, so teens get efficient treatment and a confident smile heading into adulthood.

Adults
Adult Treatment
It's never too late to love your smile. Discreet options like ceramic braces and clear aligners fit treatment into your life, not the other way around.

Orthodontic Questions, Answered
Answers to the questions we hear most from New Baltimore and East China families. Have one we didn't cover? Visit our full FAQ or give us a call.
What age should my child first see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic check-up by age 7. At that age, Dr. Brieden can spot bite and crowding issues while the jaw is still growing, which often makes future treatment shorter and simpler. Learn more about early treatment.
Am I too old for braces or clear aligners?
No. Healthy teeth can be moved at any age, and adults are one of the fastest-growing groups of orthodontic patients. Dr. Brieden offers discreet options for adults, including ceramic braces and clear aligners. Explore adult treatment.
What types of braces does Brieden Orthodontics offer?
We offer traditional metal braces, clear ceramic braces, and clear aligners. After an initial evaluation, Dr. Brieden will recommend the option that best fits your smile goals, treatment needs, and lifestyle. Compare your options.
What happens at my first appointment?
Your first visit is a consultation. Dr. Brieden will examine your teeth and bite, explain what he finds in plain language, and walk you through your treatment options before anything begins. You'll leave knowing exactly what to expect. See what to expect or request an appointment.
