There’s no need to worry—today’s braces for teens are more comfortable, discreet, and customizable than ever before. Modern orthodontic technology offers a variety of treatment options designed to fit your lifestyle, making it easier than ever to achieve a healthy, confident smile.
Teens can choose from several orthodontic treatment options, including:
- Traditional metal braces
- Clear (ceramic) braces
- Clear aligners like Invisalign®
- Self-ligating braces
- Lingual (behind the teeth) braces
Tips for Success
A successful orthodontic treatment depends on following your treatment plan and caring for your smile. Be sure to follow Dr. Frial's instructions carefully throughout your treatment. If your treatment requires elastics (rubber bands), wearing them exactly as directed is essential for correcting your bite and keeping your treatment on schedule.
At each visit to our Laguna Niguel orthodontic office, our team will review the best techniques for brushing around your braces, wires, and along the gumline. We'll also demonstrate how to floss effectively with braces and provide guidance on caring for Invisalign® aligners to keep them clean and clear.
Maintaining excellent oral hygiene and properly caring for your braces or aligners helps prevent cavities, gum problems, and staining while keeping your treatment progressing as planned. With consistent care and regular appointments, you'll be one step closer to achieving a healthy, beautiful smile.
Don’t forget to smile!
Have fun personalizing your braces! Show your school spirit by choosing elastic tie colors that match your school, support your favorite sports team, or celebrate the seasons and holidays. With a wide variety of colors to choose from, you can make your smile uniquely yours at every visit.
If you prefer a more discreet option, we also offer Invisalign® for teens. No matter which treatment you choose, remember that orthodontic treatment is only temporary—but the benefits can last a lifetime. Orthodontics does more than straighten teeth; it creates a healthier bite, a more confident smile, and a happier you.

TESTIMONIAL #1
“My 11-year-old son had his second-to-last visit to have his braces taken off. The before and after difference is amazing. My son now has a beautiful smile and it has changed his whole face for the better. Dr. Frial works great with kids and my son had a wonderful experience during the 22 months. Dr. Frial was highly recommended by our dentist and we can't recommend him enough. Dr. Frial also did my wife's braces and did an amazing job.” – EC –
