Here are some examples of orthodontic treatments: - Growth modification appliances - Clear aligners such as Invisalign - Metal braces - Ceramic braces - Self-ligating braces - Lingual braces What are clear aligners?

Invisalign system is for any age and at any stage of your life The most convenient option, as there are very few physical doctor visits during the entire treatment that may last 1-2 years for teenage cases It’s a very gentle & comfortable solution with no interruptions in lifestyle With Invisalign planning and treatment staging options, I can plan treatment for teenagers without removing any tooth which helps to rule out one of the chief concerns that parents have for their children when they think of braces How much does Invisalign cost for my teenager?
