Braces for Kids & Teens
At Swihart Orthodontics, every smile tells a story and we love being part of it. Whether your child is just starting their orthodontic journey or your teen is ready for a confident smile, our friendly and experienced team makes treatment a positive experience from start to finish, with two convenient locations in Newport News and Gloucester, VA.
Confidence That Grows With Every Visit
Braces do so much more than straighten teeth; they help to build confidence that lasts a lifetime. We see it every day when a shy child starts smiling bigger, or when a teen walks out of an appointment a little taller because they’re proud of their progress. Confidence today builds assurance for tomorrow, and that’s one of the most rewarding parts of what we do.
Every smile is unique and so is every treatment plan. Dr. Corrie Swihart and her team use advanced technology and a patient-first approach to design braces that fit your lifestyle and goals.
Healthy Smiles That Last a Lifetime
Straighter teeth and a balanced bite are about more than appearance; they also improve overall oral health and function. Braces help kids and teens chew, speak, and clean their teeth more effectively, supporting lifelong comfort and wellness. For some patients, we also collaborate with an oral surgeon using a surgical orthodontics approach when advanced correction is needed to create ideal jaw balance and function.
These Smiles? All Braces.
Personalized Care for Every Stage of Growth
No two smiles develop the same, which is why ABO Certified Orthodontist Dr. Corrie Swihart, tailors each treatment plan to your child’s unique needs and growth pattern.
At Swihart Orthodontics, we also offer Phase 1 Treatment for early orthodontic care that gently guides jaw and tooth development to prevent future crowding or misalignment.
We support families with insurance and financing options, making it simple to start treatment without stress.
A Team Kids and Teens Actually Look Forward to Seeing
Ask our patients what they love most, and you’ll hear a common theme: they look forward to their visits. From remembering each patient’s favorite color of bands to cheering on treatment milestones, our team creates an atmosphere that’s upbeat, kind, and motivating.
Our 5-star reviews reflect what families experience every day: personalized attention, genuine care, and results that go beyond the smile.
