The Importance of Orthodontic Treatment

Orthodontic treatment goes beyond cosmetic improvements; it is a vital part of maintaining oral health and overall well-being. Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of decay, gum disease, and tooth loss. Orthodontics can also correct bite issues, alleviate problems with eating and speaking, and reduce the strain on jaw muscles and joints, potentially preventing future TMJ issues. 

Orthodontic Treatment for Children

Phase 1 Treatment

Phase 1 treatment, also called early interceptive treatment, typically begins while the child has most of their primary teeth and a few of their permanent front incisors. This phase aims to address significant issues that could affect the development of the jaw and teeth, such as crowding, spacing, and bite alignment. Early treatment can:

  • Guide the growth of the jaw to accommodate emerging teeth
  • Reduce the risk of trauma to protruded front teeth
  • Correct harmful oral habits
  • Improve appearance and self-esteem
  • Potentially simplify and shorten the time needed for later orthodontic treatment

Phase 2 Treatment

Phase 2 treatment usually starts once most or all the permanent teeth have erupted, often around the age of 11 to 13. This stage focuses on achieving proper alignment of the teeth and bite, ensuring each tooth is in the correct position for a harmonious, functional, and aesthetic relationship with the lips, cheeks, tongue, and other teeth. Phase 2 might involve traditional braces, clear aligners, or other orthodontic appliances, depending on the individual’s needs.

Orthodontic Treatment for Teens and Adults

While many associate orthodontics with children or adolescents, there is no age limit to improving one’s smile and oral health. Teen and adult orthodontics can address the same issues as children’s treatments but may require different approaches due to the lack of jaw growth. For teens and adults, we offer a range of discreet and efficient treatment options, including:

  • Traditional Metal Braces: Modern braces are more comfortable and less obtrusive than ever before.
  • Clear and Ceramic Braces: Similar in function to metal braces, these offer a discreet and aesthetically pleasing treatment option.
  • Clear Aligners: A popular choice for adults and teens alike, clear aligners offer a virtually invisible way to correct your smile.

Orthodontic treatment at any age can dramatically improve your quality of life and confidence. At Main St. Orthodontics in Belton, TX, we are dedicated to providing the highest standard of care, customized to meet the unique needs of each patient, whether child, teen, or adult. Our team is here to guide you through every step of your orthodontic journey, ensuring a smooth, efficient, and rewarding experience.

This orthodontist office is wonderful! Very friendly and caring staff. Jennifer was awesome. My daughter is getting braces and they were very informative and explained everything to her that she wanted to know. They were also very helpful and flexible and helping me find the right payment options for me without insurance. I would definitely recommend them.

Dr. Jacobs and his staff are always warm and welcoming! My son was in braces for about 1 1/2 years and a retainer for 9 months. They provided exceptional quality service every time we were there! I definitely recommend them for all of your Orthodontic needs

Everyone was so nice and patient with my kiddo, who has severe dental anxiety. They explained every step so that he knew what to expect, and shared in his joy and excitement once the braces were applied.
