Orthodontic Treatment for Teens
Braces, Invisalign and Other Options for Teens
Though orthodontic work can be effective at any age, the teenage years are the traditional time for people to get braces and a more perfect smile. Kids are usually among good company in school and their daily lives, with many others of their peers getting their teeth worked on at the same time. It’s also the best and most effective time to straighten teeth and fix alignment, creating a nice smile to last their lifetime.

About
Braces for Teens
Braces have been a rite of passage for teens for decades and today they are still the most reliable way to straighten teeth and improve smiles. They come in different styles and materials, and require different timelines. You have choices. Teenage years see rapid growth and change, and these years are an ideal time to straighten teeth and reshape smiles.
Braces can take up to two years to do their work, and most teens complete orthodontic treatment faster than adults. The American Association of Orthodontists estimates that 50 to 70% of U.S. kids will wear braces before they reach adulthood. Braces solve many oral health issues, including:
Crowded and crooked teeth
Gaps between teeth
Overbite and underbite
Crossbite

About
Invisalign® for Teens
These are a popular option to metal or ceramic braces. They are clear aligners designed for your teeth that are virtually invisible. Most people do not even notice them. Every one to two weeks, your teen will change to a new set of aligners as prescribed to wear until their treatment is complete. Since they are removable, you can brush, floss, and eat what you want without any worry. Invisalign® aligners for teens do not interfere with your daily life since they are:
Clear – Virtually invisible in photos and in real life.
Removable – Eat what you want, when you want.
Maximum Comfort – No wires or brackets.
