These are the most common and versatile option. Metal braces are highly effective and can correct anything from mild alignment issues to complex bite problems.
For teens who love a stylish twist, gold braces offer a bold and trendy choice. They’re just as strong and effective as traditional metal braces but with a unique aesthetic that stands out.

Why Braces Are So Beneficial
Braces are a trusted treatment because they’re strong, reliable, and produce consistently beautiful results. Modern braces have evolved over the years they’re more comfortable, more efficient, and more stylish than ever before. And braces aren’t just about looks! Straight teeth also improve dental health:
- Crooked or crowded teeth can trap plaque and make brushing harder.
- A misaligned bite can cause discomfort when chewing or speaking.
- Correcting alignment reduces the risk of cavities, gum disease, and jaw issues.
Orthodontic treatment supports both confidence and long-term oral health and we’re excited to help your teen enjoy the benefits!
How Braces Fit Into a Teen’s Active Lifestyle
Good news: braces don’t have to slow your teen down! With a few simple habits, treatment can stay on track while life stays fun:.
Wear a mouthguard during sports to protect teeth and braces.
Brush and floss thoroughly oral hygiene becomes even more important.
Avoid certain foods like popcorn, chewy candies, tough bread, pretzels, and pizza crust that can damage braces or get stuck.
