Most of us opt to have orthodontic treatment as teenagers, mainly between the age of 11-15. The reason why is that the vast majority of us will already have all our permanent teeth. It's also easier to detect potential issues such as bad bites, crooked teeth or possible gap issues. Another benefit of teen braces is that as your body is growing at such a rapid pace, it makes treatment time much shorter. The increased metabolism also drastically decreased any sensation of discomfort. So how do you know which treatment is right for you?

Conventional Braces

These are the most common type of orthodontic braces. They are often known as ‘train tracks’. The advantages are that they are able to fine-tune the position of the teeth reliably and with modern sophisticated designs they are smaller and relatively fast acting to reduce treatment time. This will enable you to achieve that great smile in a shorter space of time. You can opt for clear ceramic brackets for a more aesthetically pleasing smile.

Invisalign

One of the most popular forms of treatment at Seapoint Clinic, Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners to gradually shift your teeth back into place. The reason behind Invisalign's remarkable popularity is that as they are removable, you can eat, drink and even brush your teeth as normal throughout the entirety of your treatment. The are also completely see-through, making them practically invisible unless viewed up close.
