Orthodontic Options for Teens

• Metal braces — most popular for teens; durable and effective; choose colored elastic ties
• Ceramic braces — tooth-colored brackets for teens who want a less noticeable look
• ClearCorrect Teen — clear aligners designed for teens with compliance indicators
• All options available with Medicaid for qualifying patients under 21

Why Start Orthodontic Treatment During the Teen Years?

The jaw is still developing during the teen years, which means teeth move more efficiently than in adults. Most teens complete treatment in 18-24 months. Starting treatment during this window typically results in shorter treatment time and better outcomes than waiting until adulthood.

Helping Teens Succeed with Braces

We know that teen compliance can be a challenge. Our team provides thorough instructions on care and hygiene, and we make every appointment a positive experience. For teens who choose ClearCorrect, we use compliance indicators (small dots on the aligners that fade with wear) to help parents and providers monitor wear time.

Cost & Medicaid

Braces for teens start as low as $88.00/month. Florida Medicaid covers orthodontic treatment for qualifying patients under 21. We will verify your teen's Medicaid eligibility at the free consultation. Financing is available for families without Medicaid coverage. Call 786-600-0494 to get started.
