DIFFERENT KINDS OF BRACES FOR TEENAGERS TYPE Metal braces/Traditional braces (Outside) Lingual Braces (Inside) Ceramic Braces Invisalign PHOTO DESCRIPTION PROS These are the metal brackets and wires that most people picture when they hear the word "braces." Lingual braces are the same as traditional metal braces, except that the brackets and wires are placed on the inside of teeth. Least expensive type; colored bands give kids a chance to express themselves Invisible from outside Most noticeable type of braces CONS same size and shape as metal braces, except that they have tooth-colored or clear brackets that blend in to teeth. Some even use tooth-colored wires to be even less noticeable Less noticeable than metal braces; move teeth much faster than clear plastic aligners (Invisalign) mouth guard-like clear plastic aligners. The aligners are removable and are replaced every 2 weeks Difficult to clean; more expensive; not appropriate for severe cases; can be more uncomfortable at first; regular adjustments take longer and are more difficult than with traditional braces More expensive than metal braces; Brackets can stain easily if patients don’t care for them well Will not work for serious dental problems; only available for adults and teens, not children; more expensive option; can be easily lost and costly to replace; treatment may potentially take longer $5,000 - $13,000 or more $2,000 - $8,500 Almost invisible; Patients can eat and drink whatever they want PRICES RANGES depending on the severity of the bite and positioning problems that need to be fixed, the length of time the braces will be in place and whether the braces are on one set of teeth or both (upper and lower)". $1,500-$10,000 $3,000- $8,000 Above is my research pertaining to the different braces for teenagers. Each brace has differences, so preference would be depending on client’s teeth positioning problems, so intensive check up must be done.
