What is the average teen braces cost?

Cost varies by treatment type and complexity. Metal braces are the most affordable teen orthodontics option; Invisalign® teen is slightly higher. We provide a complete cost estimate at your free consultation. Insurance benefits and financing options are available.

Can my teenager choose cool braces colors?

Absolutely. Metal braces come with a range of ligature (band) colors your teen can change at each appointment. Many teenagers enjoy using band colors to express themselves throughout treatment.

Is Invisalign® teen right for my teenager?

Invisalign® teen works best for motivated teenagers who will commit to wearing aligners 20–22 hours per day. Dr. Sharma evaluates your teen's case and recommends the best option — whether that's braces for teenagers or Invisalign® — based on their specific bite and lifestyle.
