Stressing about your smile? Are braces going to cramp your Victoria High School style? We've got news for you: Braces aren't just for adults anymore. Today's orthodontic options are about letting you be YOU while achieving the smile you've always wanted.


Your Smile, Your Style


Today's braces are light-years away from those bulky metal ones your parents might have had. We offer options that are sleek, discreet, and teen-approved:


  • Clear Ceramic Braces: These blend in with your teeth, giving you a natural look that your friends won't even notice, ensuring they won't steal the spotlight from your awesome personality.

  • Invisalign: These clear, removable aligners are the ultimate in stealth. Take them out for those Friday night selfies or game-day snacks, then pop them back in and let them work their magic.


The Perks of a Perfect Smile


We know you're not just getting braces for the 'gram. It's about feeling amazing in every moment. Imagine crushing that class presentation with a grin that says, “I've got this!” Laughing with your friends without a worry in the world, and scoring a date to prom with a smile that lights up the room.


Think of us as your smile squad, led by the experienced Dr. Bartlett. We'll create a custom plan that fits your life, not the other way around.


Your Braces Survival Kit


We get it – life is busy with school, sports, and hanging out with friends. But trust us, taking care of your braces is totally worth it. A little TLC will keep your smile looking its best and help your treatment go faster. Here are our hacks for a hassle-free braces experience:


  • Avoid sticky, hard, and chewy foods like gum, popcorn, and hard candy, as these can damage your braces. Instead, load up on soft tacos, fruits, veggies, yoghurt, pasta, and other easy-to-chew foods that won't mess with your braces! 

  • Keep a travel toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste in your backpack for after-meal touch-ups.

  • Flossing with braces might seem tricky, but we have hacks to make it easy. Whether it's floss threaders or a water flosser, we'll find the method that works for you.


Don't let braces hold you back from enjoying your high school years. Book a free consultation today with Dr. Kirk Bartlett, an orthodontist in Victoria. We'll help you choose the perfect braces in Victoria for your lifestyle and guide you through your treatment journey. Get ready to smile with confidence!
