Braces for Kids, Teens & Adults in Columbia, MD

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.

Don’t wait to give your child the foundation for a lifetime of confident smiles. Take the first step today! – Dr. Clark

Braces for Teens

The teenage years are the most common time for orthodontic treatment because permanent teeth have fully erupted and the jaw is still responsive to alignment. We offer modern, low-profile braces options that keep teens feeling confident while achieving precise results:

Traditional Metal Braces: Stronger, smaller, and more comfortable than ever. Teens love customizing their look with personalized elastic band colors at every visit.

Clear Ceramic Braces: Blend naturally with the color of the teeth, offering a lower-profile option for style-conscious teens.

Braces for Adults

It is never too late to enhance your smile or correct long-standing alignment and bite issues. Nearly one in four orthodontic patients today is an adult. Dr. Clark provides adult braces that fit seamlessly into busy personal and professional schedules, focusing on comfort, aesthetic discretion, and long-term oral health.

Types of Braces Offered

Dr. Clark offers leading edge options to match your personal preferences and orthodontic goals:

Modern Metal Braces: Engineered with high-grade stainless steel for maximum durability and efficiency. Modern designs feature smaller brackets that minimize irritation.

Clear Ceramic Braces: Made from tooth-colored or translucent materials, making them far less noticeable while providing the exact same corrective power as traditional metal options.
