ProviderBraces for Teens' Unique Needs
For many teens, braces can be a bit of a controversial topic – and that’s totally understandable. The good news? Today’s braces are nothing like the bulky, uncomfortable ones of the past!
While many teenagers get excited about having a straighter smile – and some even love the fun, quirky style braces can add – others might have a few concerns.
For teens who want to keep things subtle and aestics in mind, i-Orthodontics offers low-profile, translucent braces that blend in nicely.
And for teens who want to rock the braces look, traditional metal braces with colorful elastics are a fun and popular choice!
Whatever your teen’s style or preference, we’re here to support them every step of the way with expert advice, encouragement, and plenty of smiles.

Here are a few reasons why braces might be the perfect choice for some teens:
Versatility
Traditional braces can effectively treat a wide range of orthodontic issues, from simple to complex.
Compliance With Treatment
Since braces are fixed to the teeth and can’t be removed, there’s no risk of losing them. They’re also durable and hard to damage, which means fewer unexpected visits to the orthodontist – a definite plus for busy teens!
Aesthetics
Traditional metal braces can actually be a fun way for teens to express their personal style during treatment.
With colored elastics that can be swapped out at each adjustment appointment, your teen can choose colors that match their mood, the season, or even their favorite sports teams!
Braces Treatment at i-Orthodontics
Orthodontic braces traditionally straighten teeth with a combination of brackets, elastic bands, and wires.
But today’s braces are much sleeker and more comfortable than the bulky metal ones you might remember from years ago.
