Looking for friendly, family-focused braces care in Weatherford? At Meason Orthodontics, we make getting braces feel less overwhelming and more like a step you’re taking with people who genuinely care. From your child’s first appointment to that final, confident smile, our team is here to make the whole process comfortable, clear, and stress-free.
Braces are one of the most trusted, time-tested ways to straighten teeth and improve how a smile looks and works.
They use a system of small brackets and gentle, steady pressure to guide teeth into the right position over time, helping with everything from crowded or crooked teeth to bite issues that can affect how you chew, speak, or feel about your smile.
You might be a good candidate for braces if you or your child:
If any of that sounds familiar, that’s exactly why we offer free consultations, so you can come in, get answers, and figure out the best path forward without any pressure.
At Meason Orthodontics, we focus on traditional metal braces, the most trusted, time-tested option in orthodontics. Today’s metal braces are sleeker, more comfortable, and far less noticeable than they used to be, and they’re still one of the most effective ways to straighten teeth and correct bite issues for kids, teens, and adults.
Why families choose metal braces:
Are metal braces right for you?
Metal braces are often the best fit for patients with more involved orthodontic needs, like teeth that need to be rotated or moved significantly, or bite issues that need consistent, around-the-clock correction. For milder cases, or for patients who’d prefer something more discreet, clear aligners may be a better option.
If you’re hoping for a less visible treatment, we also offer Invisalign and Spark Clear Aligners as comfortable, removable alternatives.
Not sure which is right for your family? That’s exactly what your free consultation is for, Dr. Meason will take a look, talk you through your options, and help you decide together.
One of the things we love most about what we do is caring for the whole family. Braces aren’t just for kids anymore. We help patients of every age feel comfortable, confident, and at home in our office. Here’s how we tailor care for each stage of life.
For younger patients, we focus on gentle, age-appropriate care that helps kids feel safe and at ease. Many kids start with early treatment (Phase 1) to guide growth and address issues like crowding, spacing, or bite problems before they become bigger concerns. And because braces aren’t removable, they’re often the perfect fit for kids who might lose or forget to wear an aligner.
The teen years are a popular time for braces, and we get it. We work hard to make appointments stress-free, easy to fit around school, and comfortable enough that teens actually look forward to coming in. We offer after-school appointment times to make scheduling easier on busy families, and we always take time to answer questions so teens feel involved in their own care.
It’s never too late to invest in your smile. More adults than ever are choosing braces, whether to fix something that’s bothered them for years or to finally finish what they started as a teen. We’ll walk you through what to expect, talk through your options (including discreet alternatives like Invisalign and Spark), and make sure your treatment fits your life.
We know starting orthodontic treatment can feel like a lot, especially if it’s your first time or your child’s. That’s why we walk every family through the process step by step, so there are no surprises along the way. Here’s what your braces journey with us usually looks like:
Â
Your free consultation
This is where we meet, get to know you, and take a closer look at your smile using digital scans and imaging. Dr. Meason will explain what he sees, talk through your options in plain language, and answer any questions you or your child have, all with no pressure to commit.
Your custom treatment plan
Once you decide to move forward, we’ll build a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs, timeline, and budget. We’ll go over everything clearly so you know exactly what to expect, including how long treatment will likely take and what each visit will involve.
Getting your braces on
The appointment to place your braces is usually about an hour, and most patients are surprised by how easy it is. There’s no drilling or needles, just bonding small brackets to the teeth and connecting them with a thin wire. Some mild soreness for a few days afterward is normal, and we’ll send you home with tips to stay comfortable.
Regular check-ins
You’ll come in every 4–8 weeks so Dr. Meason can make small adjustments and keep your treatment on track. These visits are usually quick and easy, and our team works hard to keep them stress-free, especially for younger patients.
Finishing strong
When your braces come off, we celebrate with you! You’ll be fitted for a retainer to keep your new smile in place, and we’ll walk you through how to take care of it. Many of our patients become long-time members of our practice family, and we love getting to see them through every stage of their smile.
We’d love to welcome your family! Stop by our Weatherford office, or find directions, hours, and contact info for both of our locations below.

Why Weatherford Families Choose Meason Orthodontics
We’ve spent the last seven years building real relationships with Weatherford families, and we believe orthodontic care should feel warm, honest, and unhurried. Here’s what makes us different.
Most patients feel some mild soreness for a few days after getting braces on or after an adjustment, which is completely normal. It usually feels more like pressure than pain. Cold foods, dental wax, and over-the-counter pain relievers help a lot, and our team is always just a call away if you need extra support.
A few foods can damage brackets or get stuck in wires, so we’d suggest skipping sticky foods like taffy, caramel, and gum, plus hard or crunchy items like popcorn, ice, and whole apples or carrots. The good news is most everyday foods are still fair game, especially if crunchy items are cut into smaller pieces.
Brushing after meals and flossing daily is the foundation, and we’ll show you exactly how to clean around the brackets and wires. We’ll also recommend a few simple tools like interdental brushes or a water flosser to make the process easier. Good cleaning habits during treatment make a real difference in the final result.
Braces cost varies based on each patient’s specific needs and treatment length, which is why we offer free consultations to give you a clear, honest answer. After your first visit, we’ll walk through the full cost, what your insurance may cover, and the payment options available, no surprises, no pressure.
Yes! We offer in-house financing with flexible monthly payment plans, so families can choose what works best for their budget. No outside lenders, no complicated paperwork, just a straightforward conversation about what fits your family
Yes, retainers are an important final step. Once your braces come off, a retainer keeps your new smile in place while everything settles. We offer both clear and permanent retainer options, plus same-day retainers for existing patients if you ever lose or damage yours.
There's no pressure and no rush, just a friendly conversation about what's right for your family. Come in for a free consultation, meet our team, and see why Weatherford families have trusted Meason Orthodontics with their smiles for years. We'll talk through your options, walk you through pricing and financing, and help you take the next step at a pace that works for you.
