Ortho Teens /

Orthodontics for teens

We don’t choose braces on price alone. We assess the case, walk the family through the options and bring your teen into the conversation, so they go through treatment understanding it and ready to stick with it.

Why Ortho Teens /

Orthodontics that involves them, too

Orthodontic treatment can last months or years. The system matters, and so does who explains it and stays with them.

Experience with teens

We explain the process in plain, down-to-earth language, so your teen knows what’s happening and why it matters.

A plan built around their case

Not everyone needs the same option. We compare the alternatives before we recommend a treatment.

Clinical judgment, not upselling

We don’t default to the most expensive option. We explain which one makes sense for their case.

Costs spelled out

Down payment, monthly payments and possible adjustments, clear before the family decides.

Step by step /A process that’s easy to follow

Three steps before anything starts. No rushed decisions, and no picking a treatment just for the monthly payment.

01

We assess

We look at the bite, alignment, oral health, habits and expectations. The family knows exactly where things stand.

02

We compare

We explain how traditional braces, self-ligating braces and clear aligners differ, with the payments and commitment each one takes.

03

We stay with you

We follow progress, hygiene, appointments and instructions. Your teen knows what’s next and why it matters.

During treatment /

What’s up to them

The result also depends on your teen: on their hygiene, on taking care of their braces and on not missing appointments.

How to care for their braces

  • Brush after every meal, including around the brackets.
  • Avoid hard or sticky foods, which can knock brackets loose.
  • Don’t miss any check-up appointments.
  • When treatment ends, wear their retainers as instructed.
