12–18 years: For teens
Braces, lingual braces or clear aligners, fitted around school and the rest of your week. Dr. Mashaly says which one fits your case at the first visit.
What to expect
The same three ways of straightening teeth are open to a teenager as to an adult. Records are taken at the first visit, a plan is agreed before anything starts, and after that most of the work happens between visits.
- Length
- 12 to 24 months
- Visits
- Every 4 to 8 weeks
Questions
Braces, lingual braces, or clear aligners, which is right for me?
It depends on your bite. Some cases need fixed braces, many can be treated with aligners, and lingual braces sit behind the teeth where nothing shows. Dr. Mashaly will tell you which of the three fits your case, and why.
Does it hurt?
Expect pressure for a few days after each adjustment rather than pain. It fades as the teeth start to move.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the case and the appliance. You get a written plan with the price on it after the first visit.
