Braces for Adults and Children
Orthodontic treatment straightens misaligned teeth. While the result is a beautiful and balanced smile, aesthetics is not the only benefit. By ensuring teeth are properly aligned, Denton Smiles Dentistry creates a balanced bite that not only looks great but also works well. When the bite is misaligned, we can experience teeth grinding, soreness, and even TMJ problems. Through orthodontic treatment, we can address all these issues.
Braces for Kids and Adults
While most people still think of orthodontics as a “kid thing,” we treat adults in our practice, too. In fact, we have seen a growing number of adults seeking treatment, whether because they never had braces as a child or because their teeth shifted after treatment. The orthodontic field has evolved to offer treatment options that work well for busy adults and active kids. No matter their age, our patients receive our first-class service and attention throughout their treatment.
Getting You the Smile You Want
When you come in for an orthodontic consultation, we will evaluate your teeth and bite. We will take x-rays if we do not have a recent set on file, and we will discuss your treatment options. If you have any questions prior to your consultation, we encourage you to bring those with you to your appointment.
Once we have had a chance to review your case and create models of where we want to get your teeth, we will discuss the proposed treatment plan. We can also finalize the financial agreement at this point. By taking the time to create a thorough treatment plan at the beginning of the process, we can ensure a smooth road ahead.
When to Schedule a Consultation?
Adults considering orthodontic treatment can schedule an appointment with our office any time. We will be happy to work with you to see what you need, what you want, and how to best make that happen.
For kids, treatment time-frames can vary. Currently, the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends an initial consultation by age seven. While this may sound young, the goal here is simply to see where your child is at that stage of development, not to place bracket and wires. We may recommend initial appliances like palatal expanders or tooth spacers now, in preparation for braces after the permanent teeth are in—which is usually around age 12. When we begin treatment early, we can work with your child’s growth patterns, which means less trauma and pain while the teeth are being moved into place.
If your child is already past age 7, don’t worry. Contact our office to schedule a consultation, and we will evaluate where your child is, developmentally-speaking, and create a treatment plan based on current and future orthodontic needs.
What Our Patients Say
Absolutely the *TOP* dentist in the D/FW area! We were referred to Dr. Olson by a friend. His office is a 35 minute drive from our home and absolutely worth it. Our daughter is 4 years old and needs extensive work done on her teeth, that will require IV sedation. We have met with 3 other dentists in the area, and didn’t have a peace about them being the ones to do the work on her. We have been searching for the very best, and thankfully, found Dr. Olson.

Smiles staff are all very pleasant and professional. I have had many bad experiences with dentist and was afraid to go back. Dr. Tran did 3 fillings on me. I actually fell asleep. She’s soft spoken and very gentle handed. My extraction also went well didn’t fall asleep but didn’t have any pain. Yay They did a follow up call to see if I had any issues. I would recommend any and every one to make Smiles their dentist.
PS: very clean facility too

Not a fan of the dentist in the slightest but everyone at Denton Smiles is top notch and erased my fear completely. I'm super appreciative and can't recommend enough. Having people poke around in your mouth is a pretty invasive experience, but everyone here does nothing but put your mind at ease. THANK YOU!!!

Everyone in the office was really kind and you can tell they care about their patients. They took their time, asked questions, and listened to my concerns. There was an issue with my insurance and they gave me great advice as to how to handle it. Also, I received the gentlest but most thorough cleaning. I will definitely be visiting again in 6 months!
