Our Orthodontic Treatment Choices for Teens

Around a third of teenagers in the UK require treatment to fix jaw alignment issues, typically starting between the ages of 11 and 13, but for many, treatment occurs later in their teens. At Accessible Orthodontics, our private treatments include:

Fixed Metal Braces:

We offer traditional metal braces for teenagers with the most severe orthodontic issues. Fixed metal braces used stainless steel brackets that apply pressure to straighten teeth over time.

Metallic Braces

Ceramic Braces:

Ceramic braces are a modern and popular alternative that are similar to metal braces, but with clear or tooth-coloured brackets that blend in with the teeth for a more discreet appearance.

Ceramic Braces

Angel Aligners:

Clear, removable aligners designed to straighten teeth discreetly and comfortably, often offering a more affordable alternative to other clear aligners.

Angel Aligners

Invisalign Aligners:

Invisalign is a popular choice for teenagers, as the popular brand of nearly invisible, custom-made clear aligners gradually shifts teeth into place, offering flexibility and convenience.

What Are the Signs Your Teenager Needs Braces or Aligners?

By receiving orthodontic treatment during their teenage years, your child can take advantage of natural growth in their jaw to correct issues relating to jaw alignment, such as overcrowding, protruding, or crooked teeth, and malocclusions (bite issues such as under- or overbites).

Even though they might not be causing physical pain currently, these problems may cause discomfort and wider issues later in life, so we recommend that they be addressed early. Our free consultations can help answer any questions you or your teenager has about braces.

The Benefits of Braces and Aligners

There are many benefits to our orthodontic treatments, such as:

A healthy smile that lasts a lifetime
Proper jaw alignment
Long-term financial savings
Improved oral hygiene, gum health, and easier cleaning
Enhanced chewing and digestion
Long-term impact on smile aesthetics and overall oral health
Improved speech
Increased self-esteem and confidence

FAQs

At what age should my teenager get braces?

The majority of teens begin orthodontic treatment between the ages of 11 and 14, when most of their permanent teeth have come in and their jaw is still growing. However, every case is unique, and some may benefit from starting earlier or later.

Despite popular opinion, orthodontic treatment like braces for older teenagers and adults can still have a significant and positive impact, meaning it’s never too late to start treatment.

As every case is unique, if you have concerns about the need for braces for your teen, get in touch with us today, and we can offer advice specifically for your teenager.

Which are the best braces for my teenager?

Choosing the best braces for your teenager depends on the severity of their orthodontic issues, lifestyle preferences, and budget available.

Fixed Metal Braces: Best for severe orthodontic issues. These traditional stainless steel braces are highly effective and reliable. If you choose to go to the NHS for your teenager's orthodontic treatment, these are the only options available.
Ceramic Braces: A discreet alternative to metal braces. These use clear or tooth-coloured brackets that blend in with teeth. These (and all the options below) are ideal for teenagers concerned about the appearance of their braces.
Angel Aligners: Clear, removable aligners that are both comfortable and budget-friendly. A good choice for teens wanting a subtle option.
Invisalign Aligners: Nearly invisible, custom-made aligners that offer flexibility and ease, perfect for active teens who prefer a less noticeable solution.

What should I do if my teenager is self-conscious about getting braces?

If your teenager is feeling self-conscious or anxious about the idea of braces, don’t worry - this is a common feeling among many teens. Our orthodontic team is experienced in treatment for those who may be self-conscious about the idea of braces, and we are more than happy to discuss your child’s feelings about these treatments.

If the appearance of traditional metallic braces is a cause for concern, our ceramic braces are a less noticeable option. Similarly, our aligners are nearly invisible and removable. Focusing on the long-term benefits, such as a straighter smile and improved confidence, can help ease your child’s concerns. We will work with you and your teen to decide on an option that works best.

"Accessible orthodontics were incredibly helpful as I decided on my Invisalign treatment. Nestor was very patient and understanding as I asked for certain things to be adjusted, as I carried on through my treatment. Everything is very specified to how you’d like your ending result to look like and is a really healing experience after disappointing results from previous treatment elsewhere. I can’t thank Nestor and his team more for everything they’ve done as I’ve completed my Invisalign treatment, the results are more than I could have hoped for, I really recommend it."
