The teen years are often a very good time for orthodontic treatment.
By ages 12-16, most of your teen’s permanent teeth are in place, and their bone structure is still soft, making it easier to move and shift teeth into proper alignment.
But orthodontic treatment isn’t just about achieving straight teeth. Starting treatment at an early age can prevent tooth damage, boost self-esteem, reduce the risk of future dental problems, and improve overall oral health.
At Urban Smile, we’re here to support your teen every step of the way towards a brighter, more confident smile. During their free initial consultation, our team will assess their teeth for spacing, crowding, bite, and alignment concerns and determine whether their bone and jaw structures are ready for treatment.
We understand that being a teenager can come with a lot of pressure to fit in, and insecurities about appearance are all too common. Investing in orthodontic treatment during these formative years can make a huge difference in your teen’s self-esteem and overall well-being.
Overview of Our Teen Orthodontic Treatment
We understand that orthodontic treatments can raise concerns and questions. That’s why Urban Smile offers a comprehensive overview of treatment options and consultation with our dental professionals. We’re committed to providing the perfect balance of care and expert advice.
Clear aligners are a popular choice for teens who want to straighten their teeth discreetly, without the look of traditional braces. These aligners are virtually invisible, allowing your teen to smile confidently throughout treatment.
Benefits of Teen Orthodontic Treatment
Look Good and Feel Good
Getting orthodontic treatment as a teen not only enhances their appearance by correcting misalignment and bite issues, but it can also set them up for a lifetime of better oral health.
Boosted Confidence
A healthier smile can significantly boost your teen’s self-esteem, helping them feel more confident in social situations and encouraging them to explore new experiences.
Improved Function
Clear aligner treatment can improve bite and jaw function, making it easier for your teen to chew, speak, and maintain good oral hygiene, all while keeping their natural smile intact.

Our Teen Orthodontic Treatment Process
Step 1: Book a Free Consultation
Visit one of our studios for a Free Consultation, where we’ll assess your teen’s smile including x-rays, digital scans, and dental photos. We’ll then prepare a tailored treatment plan and assist with payment plans that suit your family’s needs.
Step 2: Treatment Plan
Our Specialist Orthodontists will design a clear aligner treatment plan for your teen remotely, showing how their smile will transform.
Step 3: Treatment Begins
Once your teen’s clear aligners are ready, we’ll make sure they’re comfortable wearing them and explain how to use our Home Dental Monitoring App. The app makes it easy for your teen to check in from anywhere with Wi-Fi and track their progress between visits.
Step 4: Keeping the New Smile
After treatment is complete, we’ll provide an after-care retainer to help maintain your teen’s beautiful new smile.
