Hear it from one of our patients. Nurina's video testimonial, "Braces Helped Relieve Grinding and Bite Problems," is on the testimonials page of our website, along with more patient stories.

Straight-looking teeth can still hide a bite problem. If your teenager has crowding, an overbite or underbite, or trouble chewing, an exam is worth booking. Call (530) 223-6850 to book an exam. https://shastaorthodontics.com/is-my-teenager-ready-for-braces/

Adult braces, built around real life. Dr. Karen McCarthy offers metal and ceramic braces for adults, with treatment personalized to your lifestyle. Straighter teeth are easier to clean, and adult treatment can restore alignment that has shifted since childhood braces.

Book your no-cost consultation at shastaorthodontics.com.

Your first orthodontic visit is a conversation, not a commitment to one treatment. At Shasta Orthodontics, the no-cost consultation includes digital X-rays, an explanation of metal and ceramic braces, and time for your questions. See what to expect at shastaorthodontics.com/what-to-expect/.

Booked your child's first orthodontic evaluation and not sure what to expect?

The visit usually includes an exam of their teeth, jaws, and bite. Dr. McCarthy may also take X-rays, photos, or impressions to see how things are developing.

From there, she'll recommend one of three paths: no treatment needed yet, treatment recommended later, or treatment recommended now.

Call (530) 223-6850 to schedule today!

Cleaning around braces takes extra attention.

Brush carefully around brackets, floss between teeth, and follow the care instructions from our orthodontic team.

09/23/2026

Parents can use an orthodontic consultation to ask about timing, treatment options, and what happens next.

Bring the questions that matter most to your family.

09/22/2026

Think you missed your window for braces?

There's no upper age limit for orthodontic treatment.

What matters most is whether your teeth, gums and supporting bone are healthy enough for tooth movement, not the number on your birth certificate.

09/18/2026

Wondering if ceramic braces stain?

The brackets themselves resist it, but the small elastic ties around them can pick up color from coffee, tea and tomato sauce.

Good news: those ties get swapped out at every adjustment visit, so a fresh start is never far away.

09/17/2026

New braces take a few days to feel normal.

Soft foods, orthodontic wax on any spot that's rubbing, a warm salt water rinse and gentle brushing all help.

Save this for your first week.
