A healthy, beautifully aligned smile builds confidence that lasts a lifetime. At our Columbia, Maryland orthodontic practice, Dr. Maxine Clark offers comprehensive braces options tailored for patients of all ages. Whether you are seeking early orthodontic evaluation for your child, modern braces for your teenager, or discreet alignment solutions for yourself, Dr. Clark delivers individualized care using the latest technique and technology.
Orthodontic Braces for Every Stage of Life
Orthodontic treatment isn’t one-size-fits-all. Dr. Clark designs custom treatment plans designed around the unique structural, aesthetic, and lifestyle needs of each age group.
Braces for Kids (Phase 1 Orthodontics)
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a child’s first orthodontic evaluation around age 7. Early treatment allows Dr. Clark to monitor bone development, correct severe bite issues early, and guide permanent teeth into proper alignment as they emerge—often reducing the time needed for full braces later on.
