Helping Teens Build Confidence, One Smile at a Time
The teen years are full of big changes — new experiences, growing independence, and important milestones. At Sherman & Briscoe Orthodontics, we believe a healthy, confident smile can help teens navigate it all with greater self-assurance. That’s why we offer expert orthodontic care designed to fit the lifestyle, needs, and goals of today’s teenagers.
For over 57 years, we’ve helped families create smiles that last a lifetime. Led by Dr. Sherman and Dr. Briscoe, our experienced team understands how to make orthodontic care a positive, empowering journey for teens and their parents alike.
Our Braces Options for Teens: Choose Your Style
Every teen is unique — and their orthodontic treatment should reflect that. At Sherman & Briscoe Orthodontics, we offer two leading braces options that combine effectiveness, comfort, and style.
Contemporary Metal Braces
Still one of the most trusted orthodontic treatments, Contemporary Metal Braces are now more advanced and comfortable than ever. With smaller brackets, smoother edges, and lighter wires, these braces are ideal for teens needing powerful, reliable results.
Why teens and parents love them:
- Proven success for a wide range of bite and alignment issues
- Low-profile design for better comfort and less irritation
- Color bands let teens personalize their look at every visit
- Fast, efficient results backed by decades of success
Contemporary Metal Braces are a strong, smart choice for teens who want a no-fuss solution with excellent outcomes.
ICONIX Braces
For teens who want a more stylish, subtle appearance without sacrificing strength, ICONIX Aesthetic Braces are a standout option. These braces feature a sleek champagne finish that blends in beautifully with natural tooth color, giving your teen the confidence to smile throughout treatment.
ICONIX benefits include:
- Discreet design that’s less noticeable than traditional metal
- Durable enough to keep up with active teen lifestyles
- Comfortable fit with smooth contours and elegant design
- Ideal for image-conscious teens who still want powerful results
Whether your teen is on stage, on the field, or online — ICONIX Braces help them shine confidently every day.
Why the Teen Years Are Ideal for Braces
The teenage years are often the best time for orthodontic treatment because the body is still growing, and the teeth and jaw are easier to guide into place. Treating bite or alignment issues during this stage often results in shorter treatment times and more stable long-term results.
Braces for teens can help:
- Correct crowding and spacing
- Improve bite function and jaw alignment
- Prevent long-term oral health issues
- Boost confidence during formative years
At Sherman & Briscoe, we take a personalized approach to every teen’s treatment. We’ll assess your child’s needs and work closely with you to find the solution that fits them best — orthodontically and personally.
