Why Braces Are Important for Teens

Teenagers go through a lot of changes — physically, emotionally, and socially. Orthodontic treatment during this phase can help correct bite issues, improve oral hygiene, and boost self-esteem. Choosing the right dental braces for teens ensures that these benefits are long-lasting.

Early orthodontic intervention during the teen years is often the most effective because the jaw and teeth are still developing. By taking action now, we can avoid more complicated dental issues in adulthood.

Types of Braces for Teens

We offer a variety of braces for teens to suit different needs, budgets, and preferences. Here’s a look at the most popular options available at Kinser Orthodontics:

1. Metal Braces

Metal braces are the most common and reliable option. Today’s metal braces are smaller, lighter, and more comfortable than ever before. They use high-grade stainless steel brackets and wires to gently shift teeth into place over time.

Many teens choose metal braces for their durability and customization. They can even pick colorful rubber bands to show off their personality.

2. Ceramic Braces

Ceramic braces work just like metal braces but use clear or tooth-colored brackets that blend in with the teeth. This makes them a more discreet option for image-conscious teens.

Although slightly more delicate than metal braces, ceramic braces are a great choice for those who want effective treatment with a low-profile look.

3. Lingual Braces

Lingual braces are placed on the back side of the teeth (the tongue side), making them virtually invisible from the outside. They are customized to fit each tooth precisely and offer powerful results while staying hidden.

Lingual braces can take a bit more time to adjust to, but many teens appreciate the cosmetic advantage, especially for photos, sports, and special events.

4. Self-Ligating Braces

Self-ligating braces look similar to metal or ceramic braces but don’t require elastic ties. Instead, they use a built-in clip to hold the wire in place, allowing for smoother and more efficient movement.

These braces often require fewer adjustments and visits, which is great for busy teens and parents. They’re also known to reduce discomfort and treatment time.

5. Clear Aligners (Clear Braces for Teens)

Also known as clear braces for kids or teens, these custom-made, removable trays are nearly invisible. Brands like Invisalign® are popular among teens who want a discreet and flexible option.

Clear aligners must be worn for 20–22 hours a day and are removed for eating, brushing, and flossing. They’re ideal for responsible teens who can stick to the routine.

Our daughter just got her braces off. The staff is great and very professional. Britney went the extra mile to accommodate our last appointment for my daughter’s retainers.
Thank you for giving my daughter a beautiful smile.

Our daughter just got her braces off and we are so happy with the results. Her teeth look amazing. The staff is so professional and I don’t think they were ever late for an appointment. As a busy mom of three kids this was amazing!

The assistants are kind and really connected with my daughter. My son is still in treatment so he will continue to enjoy the icees after each appointment. Overall, great team and loved the results.

The entire Kinser Orthodontics team was absolutely amazing! From the initial inquiry to a complimentary consultation to leaving with smiles and slushies. The ladies (and doc!) are friendly, professional and fun. Both of my daughters will be getting braces in the next couple weeks and we’re looking forward to our experience at Kinser Orthodontics!

This office is the best! So professional, always on time appointments, and the doctors and staff are pleasant to be around. There is never a question to ask, where I haven’t received a response and explanation. I travel over an hour, just to be seen here, because no won’t trust any other orthodontists with my teeth! Thank you for being awesome!

Best orthodontist appointment I have ever had. My 8 year old asked when he gets to go back!

All 3 of my children, and myself, have received ortho care from Dr. Kinser. I cannot say enough nice things about the quality of care we have received. All of the staff are friendly, kind and attentive. Appointments are easy to make and are on time. Our teeth and smiles all look fabulous!!

Thank you for restoring my teeth straight and beautiful wa they were when I was younger! You are amazing!👏

Excellent experience, would definitely recommend to others. Flexible with days and times. I love that there are 2 offices, so we can really get the day and times that work for us. Love the monthly payments! Takes the sting out of paying for Ortho all at once:) thank you!

All the young ladies and Dr. Kinser are absolutely amazing! Always a great experience at each appointment. So welcoming and friendly. Love my new smile!!
