Metal Braces
For decades, traditional metal braces have been the cornerstone of orthodontics, celebrated for their unparalleled effectiveness and reliability. Today, they are not the braces you might remember.
At Wagner Orthodontics, we utilize modern metal braces that have undergone a technological revolution, making them smaller, more comfortable, and more efficient than ever before. They represent the modern gold standard in orthodontic care, delivering precise, predictable, and exceptional results.

Early Orthodontics
One of the most important investments you can make in your child’s long-term health is a proactive approach to their oral development. That is why the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends that every child have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. This may seem early, but this specific age is a critical milestone.
By age 7, the first adult molars have typically erupted, establishing the back of the bite, and a child has a mix of baby and adult teeth. This allows an orthodontist to identify and assess the developing relationship between the teeth, jaw, and face while the jaw is still growing and malleable.
Give your child the gift of a healthy start.
Adult Orthodontics
It is a common misconception that orthodontic treatment is only for children and teenagers. In reality, a beautiful, healthy smile is achievable at any age. In fact, according to the American Association of Orthodontists, today nearly one in three orthodontic patients is an adult. Whether you are looking to finally achieve the smile you have always wanted or you need to address health issues that have developed over time, modern adult orthodontics offers discreet, comfortable, and efficient solutions tailored to your professional and social lifestyle.
Adults in Longview and Chehalis seek orthodontic treatment for two primary, interconnected reasons: to improve their long-term oral health and to boost their confidence. Many adults recognize that investing in their smile is an investment in their overall well-being.
