How long are braces worn for?
The amount of time it takes to treat teens with braces depends on two key factors:
- What needs correction — The level of treatment required to correct a problem will determine how long the process takes. Different patients react to treatments differently. While it may take one patient only 12 months to complete treatment, it may take another 24 months. Treatment times can vary depending on how quickly your body responds and how much work is needed to give you the show-stopping smile you expect.
- Proper care — The patient’s willingness to correctly use the appliances provided by an orthodontist plays a vital role in the time it takes to complete treatment. Always remember to take proper care of braces and appliances!
Once your teen’s braces or Invisalign treatment is completed, a retainer will need to be worn to ensure your teen’s new smile stays in its correct place. Retainers can be fixed (permanent) or removable and clear, much like Invisalign clear aligners. Our friendly staff will be happy to discuss our retainer options with you and your teen.
Invisalign® Teen
Invisalign® custom clear aligners are discreet and removable, allowing teens to continue living their life while straightening their teeth. TBraces Orthodontics offers Invisalign Teen near you.
Ceramic clear braces
Clear braces for teens are a great choice as they blend in with the teeth. These ceramic braces can discreetly fix many of the same issues as metal braces.
Traditional metal braces
Metal braces are what most people picture when they think of orthodontic treatment. Teens can make braces more fun with colorful rubber bands that show off their style.
How much do braces cost for teens?
The cost of braces for teens depends on the chosen type of braces or clear aligner treatment and the severity of the orthodontic issues to be fixed. During a complimentary first visit to our orthodontist office, our team will review your teen’s unique orthodontic situation, goals, and proposed treatment plan. Once a treatment plan has been agreed upon, we can give you an accurate estimate of your teen’s braces cost.
Our office proudly offers affordable payment plans and accepts most major credit cards and insurance plans to make orthodontics accessible to everyone.
