Frisco, TX — Elate Orthodontics has introduced a new Braces & Power Chain Color Picker on its website to help children feel more involved and comfortable as they begin orthodontic treatment. The interactive tool allows kids to explore different braces and power chain color combinations ahead of their appointment, helping transform what can feel like a serious medical step into a more approachable, child-centered experience.

The launch of the color picker was inspired by ongoing conversations with parents about how children experience orthodontic care. Those conversations are now being shared more publicly through The Very Ordinary Orthodontist, a Substack publication written by the practice’s orthodontist, focused on parenting, healthcare decision-making, and navigating orthodontics in an era of widespread misinformation. The publication emphasizes clarity, participation, and helping families feel informed rather than overwhelmed.

While braces colors do not affect the mechanics of treatment, allowing children to explore and choose their colors can influence how they feel throughout the process. For many families, this small opportunity for choice helps shift the focus from obligation to ownership. Parents often find that it changes conversations at home, replacing anxiety with curiosity and engagement before treatment even begins.
