Empowering Teen Smiles with Confidence and Care
The teenage years are filled with growth, change, and self-discovery — and a confident smile plays a major role in helping teens feel their best. At Sherman & Briscoe Orthodontics, we specialize in providing expert orthodontic care for teens in Gilmer, TX, with a focus on comfort, confidence, and results that last.
Led by experienced orthodontists Dr. Sherman and Dr. Briscoe, and backed by over 57 years of trusted care, our team understands the unique needs of teens and their families. Whether your teen is nervous about braces or excited to begin their journey, we’re here to guide them every step of the way.
Why the Teen Years Are Ideal for Orthodontics
The teenage years are the most common time for orthodontic treatment — and for good reason. At this stage, most of the permanent teeth are in, and the jaw is still growing, which makes it easier to guide teeth into their proper positions.
Orthodontic treatment during the teen years can:
- Correct crowding, spacing, or bite issues early
- Prevent more serious dental problems in the future
- Improve speech, chewing, and overall oral function
- Boost confidence and self-esteem during a formative time
At Sherman & Briscoe, we believe orthodontic treatment should be as stress-free and empowering as possible. That’s why we offer flexible options and a supportive experience that helps teens feel in control of their smile journey.
Our Treatment Options for Teens: Choose Your Style
Today’s teens want choices — and we’re proud to offer treatment options that are as unique as they are. From bold and expressive to sleek and subtle, we make it easy for your teen to Choose Your Style and take ownership of their smile.
Contemporary Metal Braces

Why teens love them:
- Efficient at correcting all types of alignment issues
- Color bands let them personalize their look at every visit

Metal braces are a great option for teens who want a traditional approach with modern comfort and style.
