One of the biggest reasons we may recommend braces over clear aligners for teens is to ensure the success of the treatment. Because clear aligners can be removed, some teens may have trouble keeping them in. Metal braces won’t offer this problem.

Finding the best braces for teens in Herndon is made simple with Trü Orthodontics. We walk you and your teen through our options—including metal braces, InBrace lingual braces, or clear aligners like Invisalign® or our own Trü Clear Aligners—and work with you to find the ideal recommendation!

How Teen Braces Work
Whether we decide to go with clear aligners or traditional metal braces, these teeth straightening techniques work by gradually shifting the placement of the teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions
As we’re sure you’re well aware, teenagers often worry about how braces may affect their appearance. With clear aligners, you can ensure the orthodontic success of braces while maintaining your child’s 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 your teen’s dental hygiene than with traditional braces.
There is no clear answer to how long a teenager should wear braces. Every time we begin treatment for teen braces in Herndon, we assess the expected timeline of the treatment and make sure you and your teenager fully understand what to expect.
