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.

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.
The duration your child will need to wear teen braces in Herndon varies depending on their specific dental issues and how well they 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 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.
