IS IT TIME TO THINK ABOUT BRACES FOR TEENS?
One of the most common questions we hear is, “are braces right for my teen”? Many parents are concerned about their children’s teeth but are apprehensive about putting their teen through a stressful treatment while their child is going through some of their most challenging years.
You may be surprised to learn that recent innovations have entirely changed the alignment experience. Modern braces are more comfortable and stylish than ever before! Hamilton Orthodontics is a Gold provider of Invisalign, clear braces, and self-ligating braces for teens.
No two people have the same treatment needs. During your teen’s complimentary consultation, we will use x-rays and diagnostic technology to build a unique treatment plan for your teen.
HOW DO BRACES FOR TEENS WORK?
TYPES OF TEEN BRACES
Invisalign And Clear Aligners
The ease and versatility of Invisalign are a great innovation in teen braces. These slim and comfortable aligners gradually guide their smile into a more defined alignment. Teens can take their Invisalign out at a moment’s notice for a quick snack or to allow access for brushing and flossing. All your teen needs to do is wear the aligners daily (at least 20-22 hours) and replace them at doctor-requested intervals. We are a certified Gold Invisalign provider and Dr. Hamilton has advanced research and training in aligner technology.
Clear Braces
Clear braces are made of a nearly translucent material that matches the color of your teen’s teeth. As a result, teens with clear braces wearers enjoy a more discreet treatment experience. Teens with clear braces get the benefits of a comfortable appliance coupled with low-profile components.
Self-Ligating Braces
The modern convenience of self-ligating braces allows your teen to enjoy more freedom during treatment. The adjustment wire for self-ligating braces is secured using clips that function similarly to a door. Since the mechanism operates for more extended periods, your smile can move more efficiently. While most patients do not need elastic ties or colors to complete their treatment, we can still add vibrant colors to any smile. The final result is modern appliances that let your teen enjoy fewer visits and more overall comfort.
THE ADVANTAGES OF BRACES FOR TEENS
The teenage years are an ideal time to start braces treatment. During adolescence, Dr. Hamilton can take advantage of rapid growth and metabolism, resulting in more efficient treatment. Completing treatment during these years of quick growth results in better and longer lasting results for your teen.
Crooked teeth or a misaligned bite can lead to bigger issues down the road such as uneven tooth wear, problems with gums, and other long term health concerns.. Intervening during their teenage years can help you save time and money.
Orthodontic treatment has changed a lot in the last 30 years. Modern treatment no longer requires headgear or uncomfortable appliances. Getting results with braces or aligners is more fun and comfortable than ever.

HOW LONG DOES BRACES TREATMENT TAKE?
There is no set amount of time for treatment. The amount of time it takes to treat your smile with Raleigh Braces depends on three key factors:
Early Treatment:
Early treatment allows orthodontists to monitor the growth of the jaw and recommend further orthodontic treatment if it becomes necessary. Not everybody receives early orthodontic treatment; in some cases, it may be recommended that a patient waits until later to receive treatment.
What Needs Correction:
The amount of treatment necessary to correct a problem will determine how long the process takes. Orthodontic problems take different amounts of time to correct. Every patient also has individual differences in biology that can affect the speed of orthodontic treatment. While it may take one patient only 12 months to complete the treatment, another patient may require 24 months.
YOU!:
Your willingness to follow the guidance of your orthodontist will play a major role in the length of time it takes to complete your treatment. Always remember to take proper care of the braces and appliances; this truly will help make the treatment shorter! We will be able to give your teen a better idea of their needs during a complimentary consultation.
