Orthodontic Treatments We Offer in Belmont, CA
We provide a full range of orthodontic solutions tailored to each patient’s unique needs, timeline, and goals.
Traditional Metal Braces
Metal braces remain one of the most reliable and cost-effective ways to straighten teeth and correct bite issues. Today’s metal braces are sleeker, more comfortable, and more precise than ever before — and they work beautifully for patients of all ages.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces offer the same effectiveness as traditional metal braces with a more discreet appearance. The tooth-colored brackets blend naturally with your smile, making them a popular choice for teens and adults who prefer a less visible option.
Invisalign
Prefer a nearly invisible path to a straighter smile? Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners custom-made for your teeth. You can eat what you want, brush and floss normally, and go about your day with confidence — no wires, no brackets.
Invisalign Teen
Invisalign Teen is specifically designed with the active teenager in mind. With built-in compliance indicators and replacement aligners for the inevitable lost aligner, it fits seamlessly into busy school-year schedules.
Surgical Orthodontics
For patients with more complex bite or jaw alignment issues, surgical orthodontics — also called orthognathic surgery — combines orthodontic treatment with oral surgery to achieve functional and aesthetic results that braces alone cannot deliver. Dr. Kurth coordinates closely with oral surgeons to guide patients through every stage of this process.
Impacted Canine Treatment
Impacted canines occur when a tooth fails to erupt properly into the mouth. Left untreated, they can cause pain, crowding, and damage to surrounding teeth. Dr. Kurth works collaboratively with oral surgeons to expose and guide impacted canines into their correct position.
VPro Technology
Jacklyn Kurth Orthodontics uses VPro, a gentle vibration device that patients use for just five minutes a day to help seat aligners fully, potentially accelerating treatment progress and improving comfort. It is one of the ways we bring the latest advancements in orthodontic care directly to our patients.

Orthodontic Care for Kids and Teens in Belmont
Early orthodontic evaluation — recommended by age 7 — can help Dr. Kurth identify developing issues before they become more complex and costly to treat. For kids, interceptive treatment can guide jaw growth, create space for incoming permanent teeth, and set the stage for a smoother, shorter treatment later.
For teenagers, we offer metal braces, ceramic braces, and Invisalign Teen — all designed to work with the realities of adolescent life. School photos, sports, prom season — we will find the right fit for your teen’s schedule and personality.
Our team is experienced at making young patients feel comfortable and heard. We celebrate milestones, answer every question, and make orthodontic appointments something to look forward to.
Adult Orthodontics in Belmont — It Is Never Too Late
More adults than ever are choosing orthodontic treatment, and for good reason. Straighter teeth are not just cosmetic — they are easier to clean, reduce wear and strain on the jaw, and can improve overall oral health for years to come.
Dr. Kurth offers discreet options, including Invisalign and ceramic braces, that fit into professional and social schedules without drawing unwanted attention. Many adult patients are surprised at how manageable — and rewarding — the process is.
If you have been thinking about it for years, there is no better time to start than now. Your free consultation is the first step.

Frequently Asked Questions
At what age should my child first see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. This allows Dr. Kurth to identify any developing alignment or bite issues early, when treatment is often simpler and more effective.
How long does orthodontic treatment typically take?
Treatment duration varies by case complexity and the type of treatment chosen. Most patients complete treatment in 12 to 24 months. During your free consultation, Dr. Kurth will provide a personalized timeline based on your specific situation.
Does Dr. Kurth offer Invisalign in Belmont, CA?
Yes. Dr. Kurth offers both Invisalign for adults and Invisalign Teen for younger patients at our Belmont-area practice. Clear aligner therapy is an excellent option for patients who prefer a discreet, removable alternative to traditional braces.
Is orthodontic treatment covered by dental insurance?
Many dental insurance plans include orthodontic benefits for children and, in some cases, adults. Our team will review your insurance coverage during your consultation and help you understand your out-of-pocket costs. We also offer flexible financing options to make treatment accessible for every budget.
What is VPro and how does it work?
VPro is a gentle vibration device used for five minutes per day to help seat Invisalign aligners more precisely and comfortably. Some studies suggest that consistent use may also support faster tooth movement.
Can adults get braces or Invisalign?
Absolutely. Orthodontic treatment is effective at any age. Dr. Kurth treats a significant number of adult patients in Belmont and across San Mateo County, offering both traditional braces and clear aligner options that complement adult lifestyles.
How do I get started with orthodontic treatment at Jacklyn Kurth Orthodontics?
The easiest way to get started is to schedule a free consultation. During that visit, Dr. Kurth will evaluate your teeth and bite, discuss your goals, and walk you through all available treatment options — with no obligation to begin treatment that day.
