McGarrell Orthodontics
Braces for Kids, Teens, and Adults
Today’s braces are smaller, sleeker, and more efficient than ever before. We offer braces for children and adults that are designed to correct even the most complex orthodontic issues—including crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, and crossbites.
Orthodontic treatment with braces helps improve:
- Teeth alignment and spacing
- Bite function and jaw position
- Long-term oral health
- Facial balance and smile aesthetics
From early intervention to adult treatment, we offer braces solutions for every stage of life.

Types of Braces We Offer
At McGarrell Orthodontics, we believe in giving you options. We’ll help you choose the best type of braces based on your lifestyle, aesthetic preferences, and clinical needs.
Metal Braces
Our traditional metal braces are highly durable and effective. Made from high-grade stainless steel, they’re a reliable option for patients of all ages. Plus, kids love customizing their braces with colorful elastics at each visit.
Clear Ceramic Braces
Looking for a less noticeable option? Clear ceramic braces work just like metal braces but use tooth-colored brackets that blend with your natural smile. They’re popular with teens and adults who want a subtler look during treatment.
Not sure which option is best? Visit us for a complimentary consultation to explore your choices.
Our Braces Process: What to Expect
We make getting braces simple and stress-free:
1. Initial Consultation
We start with a comprehensive exam and 3D digital imaging to assess your bite, jaw alignment, and smile goals.
2. Personalized Treatment Plan
Dr. McGarrell will recommend the right type of braces and outline your estimated treatment time.
3. Braces Placement
Your brackets are bonded to your teeth, and your first archwire is placed. The process is painless and usually takes about an hour.
4. Routine Adjustments
You’ll visit our office every 6–8 weeks for check-ins and adjustments to guide your teeth into place.
5. Retention Phase
Once your braces come off, you’ll receive custom retainers to keep your new smile aligned for years to come.
We also provide early orthodontic treatment for young children to address issues before they become more complex.
