If you have teens, Absolute Dental is yourteen orthodontist in Carson City.
Orthodontic treatment is important not just for theconfidence boost a straight smile offers. Orthodontics are important for oral and overall health as well.
Straight teeth are easier to clean because there are less hidden spaces where brushing can’t reach, flossing is easier, and the uneven wear that bite issues can bring is minimized. A healthy mouth has also beenwidely linked to better overall health, including reduced rates of diabetes and heart disease.
Especially during the teen years, orthodontics can address dental issues before they become larger problems. In almost all cases, solutions during teenage years are more effective than during adulthood.
Types of Braces for Teens at Absolute Dental in Carson City
At Absolute Dental, we offer many different types of adolescent braces in Carson City, including traditional metal braces, clear braces, and invisible aligners.
Traditional Metal Braces
Traditionalmetal braces are a good choice in almost all cases and can fix nearly any orthodontic issue. They may be less flattering than other options, but they work in even the most severe cases of misalignment. This type of braces is smaller, lighter, and more effective than in the past.
Clear Braces for Teens
“Clear” braces are similar to traditional braces but use less noticeable wires and brackets. Brackets on clear braces are usually tooth-colored, making them less noticeable. They are often slightly more expensive than traditional braces, but work in almost all cases, including severe issues.
Invisible Aligners (Invisalign for Teens)
Invisalign braces are themost discrete choice. Invisalign consists of a series of clear, plastic trays that progressively align the teeth. They can be removed for eating and other special occasions, and even when in the mouth, they are minimally noticeable.
This option is generally the most expensive and only works on mild to medium cases of misalignment. Unfortunately, they don’t often work for the most severe cases.

When Should Your Teen Begin Orthodontic Care?
The American Orthodontic Association notes that the perfect age for a first orthodontic checkup is7 years old. This is because at this age, problems can be readily identified, and plans may be put into place to deal with any issues that may come up.
Early interventions such as this may “help you avoid more costly or more invasive treatments down the road,” according to the Association.
For most people, serious orthodontic work will likely begin in their teens. This is because most of the “adult” teeth will have already come in. It’s best to air on the side of caution and have your child checked out as early as possible. No treatment may be needed at the time.
The Teen Braces Treatment Process
Your teen’s orthodontic journey will typically begin with a consultation. At Absolute Dental, these consultations are free.
At the consultation, the orthodontist can discuss with you what braces might be best for your unique situation, how long each method might take, the cost, and any other concerns you may have. Orthodontists may also take impressions or X-rays and use other diagnostic equipment to make a determination.
Once the aligners are placed, your teen will need regular checkups to tighten wires or get new trays, and to check progress.
Teen Braces Cost in Carson City
The cost of teen braces in Carson City is dependent on many factors, including severity of case, work needed, the type of braces chosen, and more. At Absolute Dental, we believe quality care should be accessible to everyone.

Your orthodontist or dentist may suggest special cleaning tools as well, such as super-flossers or a water flosser to help your teen keep their braces and teeth clean.
