Braces or Aligners: What’s Best For Your Teen?

Braces are often seen as a rite of passage for teenagers. However, modern orthodontics means that there are more options for straightening a smile than ever before. Today, the most common options are traditional metal braces and clear aligners. Keep reading to learn about these top choices so you can select the best option for your child.

Choosing Braces

Braces have been popular for generations and are still the most common way to straighten teeth. Braces are a great option for kids and teens because they take the guesswork out of orthodontics. A forgetful teen might have problems wearing aligners for the proper amount of time or keeping track of their aligners while they’re eating. Today, braces are more comfortable (and affordable) than they’ve been in the past, making them a stress-free choice for your family.

Choosing Aligners

Being a teenager can be an awkward, uncomfortable time. If your teen is struggling with their confidence, they may not like the look of traditional braces. Clear aligners can do wonders for your child’s self-esteem because they gradually straighten their smile in a subtle way. While removable aligners require more responsibility than braces, many teens like the flexibility of a removable option.
