Orthodontics for teens

Orthodontics for teens.

Most teens don't love the idea of braces. Most also stop thinking about them after week two. Here's how we make treatment fit around school, sports, and everything else.

Life with treatment

School, sports, and everything else.

Braces and aligners are built into normal teenage life all the time. We’ll cover eating, sports (yes, with a mouthguard), instruments, and keeping things clean.

Nothing about treatment should sideline the stuff your teen actually cares about.

Dr. Sytek will let you know if your teen is a candidate for braces, aligners, or both. Her Treatment Coordinator will talk through the expectations for each option, so you can choose what will actually work for your teen’s lifestyle.

Options for teens

Braces and alignersthat fit a teenager's life.

Dr. Sytek will recommend what actually fits your teen's case and habits, not just what looks best on paper.

Most common

Damon Ultima Braces

Our go-to for most teens: smaller, more comfortable, no colored ties to fuss with.

Aligners

Oliv Aligners

Clear aligners for the right case and a teen who's reliable about wear time. Best for a teen who is responsible enough to be in charge of wear time.

Low profile

Damon Clear

Clear brackets on the front teeth for a lower-profile look.

Remote

Dental Monitoring

AI-assisted remote check-ins so you have fewer in-office visits and we still catch issues early.

Fewer missed school days

Dental Monitoringmeans fewer trips out of class.

Most teen patients use Dental Monitoring, so a lot of their check-ins happen from a phone scan at home instead of a mid-day appointment. That means fewer school days interrupted and fewer trips into town for you. It also lets Dr. Sytek keep an eye on rubber band wear and brushing, so you’re not the only one on your teen’s case about it.

Cost & financing

Honest pricing, out in the open.

See ranges, what's included, and payment plans on our Costs & Financing page. You'll get an exact number for your case at your consultation.
