Orthodontic Options: Braces and Alternatives for Teens
Teen years are a critical time to address misaligned teeth or bite issues.
Orthodontic treatment during this time is not only effective but can also significantly boost self-esteem and oral health.
Available Options
Metal Braces
* Durable, cost-effective, and suitable for various orthodontic issues.
* Modern designs are more comfortable and smaller than older versions.
Clear Aligners
* Aesthetic and removable, making them ideal for teens who prefer discretion.
* Require discipline to wear as prescribed for effective results.
Other Options
* Ceramic braces or lingual braces (placed behind the teeth) for a less visible appearance.
Why early treatment matters
- Corrects bite problems, overcrowding, or gaps before they worsen.
- Enhances confidence by improving the appearance of the smile.
