Many teens begin orthodontic treatment around 11-12 years of age. Their jaws are still developing, which means there is an ideal window to straighten teeth and address any bite issues with ease.
Metal braces might be the most familiar option, but they are not the only one. For milder adjustments, clear aligners can work beautifully. If fixed braces are needed, tooth coloured (ceramic) braces offer the same powerful results with a more discreet look.
Every smile is unique and has its own timeline, treatment duration can be between 12 months to 24 months depending on what needs to be done. Your teen’s orthodontist will walk you through your personalised plan and the timeline from the very start.
If you are looking for a “barely-there” option, Invisalign® is your best choice. These clear aligners gently guide your smile into place without the need for brackets, wires and are removed for eating and tooth brushing.
