Traditional braces keep things simple for busy teenagers. Unlike removable clear aligners that need to be worn for most of the day and cleaned regularly, braces work their magic 24/7 without you needing to worry about keeping track of them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Teenagers often worry about how traditional braces may affect their appearance. With clear aligners, you can ensure the orthodontic success of braces while maintaining your confidence and self-esteem! There are other benefits to clear aligners aside from cosmetic—because you can remove these braces when eating, flossing, and brushing, there’s less risk to dental hygiene than with traditional braces.
The duration you will need to wear teen braces for varies depending on your specific dental issues and how well you respond to treatment. Generally, most teenagers wear braces for about 1.5 to 3 years. However, this timeframe can be shorter or longer based on the complexity of the dental problems being corrected and the type of braces that are used. It’s also crucial for the patient to follow our orthodontist’s instructions closely, as adherence to care guidelines can significantly impact the length of treatment. After braces are removed, wearing a retainer as prescribed is essential to maintain the results.
