The ideal time varies for each person, but most children benefit from an evaluation around age 7, as recommended by the American Association of Orthodontists, to catch any early issues with jaw growth or tooth alignment. Teens typically start treatment between ages 11 and 13 when most permanent teeth are in, while adults can begin at any age to enhance their smile or bite. Dr. Greene will assess your unique needs during a consultation in our calming, historic office overlooking Cane River, ensuring a personalized plan that fits your lifestyle.

We provide a range of options, including traditional metal braces, clear braces, and clear aligners (Invisalign, SPARK, etc.) for a discreet look. Dr. Greene uses advanced systems like Damon braces, which offer flexibility with or without colorful bands, perfect for showing school spirit or keeping things low-key. During your visit, we’ll discuss which option best suits your needs, ensuring comfort and style in our relaxing environment.

Protecting your smile is a priority, especially for active patients! We love Shock Doctor that offers high-quality mouthguards with dental injury warranties, provided at cost to our patients and their families. These come in various styles tailored to different sports, ensuring safety without sacrificing comfort. At Greene Orthodontics, we’ll help you choose the right mouthguard during your visit to our welcoming Front Street office, so you can focus on the game while we keep your smile safe.

Adults can absolutely transform their smiles at any age! Whether you’re a busy parent, professional, or retiree, options like clear aligners (Invisalign, SPARK, etc.)—removable and nearly invisible—make treatment convenient and comfortable. Dr. Greene, who had braces as an adult himself, understands the unique needs of adult patients and tailors treatments for aesthetics and efficiency. Stop by our historic, calming office on Cane River, and we’ll create a plan to give you the confident smile you deserve, no matter your stage of life.
