Braces For teens

Custom orthodontic treatment with Dr. Battle can help teens love their smile, and empower them to put their best foot forward in life.

Options in Teen Braces

Every teen is unique, so it’s important to us that we provide desirable treatment options that allow teens to feel confident during treatment.

Choose from:

Does my teen need treatment?

There are a few ways you can determine whether your teen needs orthodontics. If you recognize any of the following signs or symptoms, we encourage you to request a complimentary consultation for your teen.

  • Lack of confidence when smiling or hiding smile regularly
  • Jaws or teeth are disproportionate to the rest of the face
  • Difficulty biting or chewing 
  • Digestive issues caused by improper chewing
  • Early, late or irregular loss of baby teeth
  • Crooked, crowded or gapped teeth
  • Grinding or clenching the teeth
  • Thumb sucking / finger sucking habits in childhood
  • Jaw pain or facial pain
  • Jaw shifting, popping or clicking
  • Persistent mouth breathing 

What is the cost of braces for teens?

We do everything we can to help lower the cost of braces or clear aligners for your family.

We’re proud to offer all orthodontic treatments at the same price with no down payment, or low monthly payments. We also accept outside financing with CareCredit or LendingPoint, and offer a variety of treatment discounts!

The price of braces depends on a few factors, including the length of your teen’s treatment (based on the severity of their condition) and your insurance coverage.

At your first visit to our Orlando orthodontist office, we’ll discuss your needs and work with you to create a custom financial plan that suits your budget.

Fitting Treatment Around School, Sports and Activities

The teen years are packed with classes, practices, rehearsals and part-time jobs, and orthodontic care should not crowd out any of it. Our fully digital approach means many check-ins happen through the DentalMonitoring app. Your teen snaps photos of their smile, Dr. Battle reviews the progress, and an office visit is scheduled only when an adjustment is actually needed. That usually means fewer early pickups from school.

Teens who play contact sports should wear a protective mouthguard on the field or court, braces or not. Our team can help you choose mouthguards for athletes in braces so practice and game days stay safe. Teens who would rather skip brackets entirely can explore Invisalign® and Clarity™ aligners for teens, which come out for meals and brushing.

Parents tend to appreciate how the first visit works. A TRIOS scan replaces putty impressions, low-radiation digital x-rays capture what is happening below the gums, and Dr. Battle sits down with you and your teen together to explain the findings. He matches the treatment to your teen’s personality and goals, and you leave knowing the plan, the timeline and the cost.

Cost is part of that same conversation. Metal braces, clear braces and clear aligners all carry one price, with low or no down payment, interest-free in-house financing, and a Medicaid discount for eligible families. Our coordinator handles the insurance paperwork.

Teen Braces Questions From Parents

Can my teen start braces on the day of the consultation?

In many cases, yes. We offer Same Day starts. Let us know when you schedule, and we will set aside time so your teen can leave with braces on or with scans complete for custom brackets or aligners.

Does your team speak Spanish?

Yes. Members of our team speak Spanish, and families who prefer to talk through treatment in Spanish can learn about our Spanish-speaking orthodontic care.

What happens if my teen stops wearing their retainer?

Life happens. After full treatment, our Lifetime Guarantee means we replace the braces if teeth shift from missed retainer wear, and you pay only a nominal adjustment charge plus a new retainer. Call (407) 381-3335 to book a complimentary consultation.
