The Benefits of Braces for Teenagers
With the availability of clear aligners, you may be wondering why braces are still often recommended for teenagers. Here are a few reasons braces can be the best option for some teens:
Versatility
When it comes to complex orthodontic cases, braces can apply more force to move teeth more quickly than clear aligners can. For teens with more advanced orthodontic issues that want to get through treatment as quickly as possible, braces can help.
Compliance to Treatment
Teenagers lead busy lives, and can get distracted. They can also be a little bit irresponsible, which can make it difficult for them to stick to their treatment plan if they're using clear aligners.
Because braces are fixed to the teeth and cannot be removed, your teen can't forget to put them on, and they can't lose them. Additionally, their durability makes them difficult to damage, which is an added bonus for teenagers with a lot going on.
Esthetics
Metal braces don't have the discreet, barely-there appearance that clear aligners have. However, they can be a fun part of a teenager's personal style during treatment. For teens willing to embrace the extra flair, braces can be a fun, temporary accessory.
Types of Braces for Teens at Waldman Orthodontics
Our clinic in Beverly Hills offers metal and LightForce braces for teens needing to straighten their teeth.
While you may already be familiar with metal braces, LightForce braces may be uncharted territory.
LightForce braces are 3D printed to fit the shape of your individual teeth, and are printed in a tooth color so that they are barely noticeable on your teen's smile.
