Braces for teens

At The Brace we have four types of braces for teens, so your child is sure to find an option that works well for them.

Braces for teens

Types of braces for teens

Here are the braces we offer for teens at our practice:

Traditional metal braces

Metal braces are the original orthodontic treatment, but braces today are smaller, more effective and more comfortable than ever. They use a series of small metal brackets attached to each tooth, a metal archwire to connect them, and elastics to hold everything together.

To progress through treatment, your teen will visit our practice for regular adjustment appointments. At each visit, their Specialist Orthodontist will make precise changes to ensure steady, gentle pressure continues to move their teeth into the ideal position over time.

Types of braces for teens

Clear ceramic braces

Ceramic braces work just like metal braces, but the brackets are made from a clear ceramic material. Ceramic braces are extra discreet because the brackets blend in with the colour of your teen’s smile.

Hidden lingual braces

If your teen is looking for a truly discreet treatment, they may be interested in lingual braces. These braces are attached to the back side of your teen’s teeth, so they are completely hidden from view during treatment!

Aesthetic gold braces

If your teen is looking for traditional treatment with a beautiful finish, why not try gold braces? These aesthetically pleasing braces are made from stainless steel with gold plating – and they are as durable as they are fashionable.
