It’s hard to share an exact best age for your teen to start orthodontic treatment without an exam. Most teens are good candidates for orthodontic treatment once their permanent teeth have come in, usually between ages 11 and 14. At this stage there is still some jaw growth remaining, which often makes treatment more efficient. The best way to know if your teen is ready is a consultation.
For many alignment issues, Invisalign Teen is as effective as braces. Invisalign Teen uses a series of custom aligners that shift teeth into position. It works well for mild to moderate cases. The biggest factor is consistency. Aligners need to stay in for 20 to 22 hours a day to keep treatment on track, so it works best for teens who can stick to that routine.
Treatment length for teen orthodontics varies based on the complexity of your teen’s bite issues and which option they choose. Many teens complete treatment in 18 to 24 months. Simpler cases can finish sooner, and more involved bite corrections may take longer. You will get a personalized timeline once your teen’s treatment plan is in place.
Your teen may need to change what they eat during orthodontic treatment. With traditional or ceramic braces, foods like popcorn, hard candy, and sticky snacks should be avoided to protect the brackets and wires. Invisalign Teen aligners come out before eating, so there are no food restrictions. However, they do need to go back in right away to keep treatment on schedule.
The cost of teen orthodontic treatment can vary. However, comprehensive orthodontic treatment typically starts around $4,200, and Invisalign starts around $3,500. Your exact cost depends on your teen’s specific needs. We also offer 0% financing, low-down-payment plans, and 5% discounted fee options to help make treatment more manageable. We will give you a full breakdown after your teen’s consultation.
