Treatment Options for Teenagers
Invisalign Teen
Clear aligners designed for teenage life
Nearly-invisible, removable clear aligners with Invisalign Virtual Care included — track progress from your phone and skip unnecessary appointments. Free replacement aligners included.
Ceramic Braces
Tooth-coloured brackets for a subtle look
Traditional fixed braces with tooth-coloured ceramic brackets that blend with your natural teeth. Just as effective as metal braces but far less noticeable - a great middle-ground option.
Metal Braces
The trusted classic that works for everyone
The tried-and-tested bracket and wire system that remains extremely effective for teenage patients. Modern metal braces are smaller and more comfortable than ever and can be customised with coloured bands.
Angel Aligners
Clear aligners for precise results
Clear aligners with Dental Monitoring included — fits around school and exams with fewer in-person visits. Multiple treatment options available, tailored to your teen's case.
Finding the Right Fit
Every teen is different and so is every smile. We offer a full range of orthodontic options so you can choose what works best for your teenager's lifestyle, preferences and treatment needs. At your free consultation, we'll discuss all suitable options and help you make the right choice.

How to Choose
Not sure which option is right for your teen? Here are the key factors to consider.
How visible will it be?
If discretion is important, consider clear aligners. Ceramic braces are a good middle ground between visibility and effectiveness.
Treatment complexity
Some options work better for complex cases. Metal braces can handle almost anything; aligners suit most cases.
Lifestyle fit
Active in sports? Play an instrument? Removable aligners offer more flexibility than fixed braces.
Responsibility level
Aligners need to be worn 22 hours daily. If that's a concern, fixed braces work automatically.
Still not sure? That's what consultations are for!
