Orthodontics for Teens

During the early teen years is the perfect time to start orthodontic treatment. While the jaw bones are still developing, we can use braces, Invisalign® and/or an orthodontic appliance to align the smile with a treatment plan that works with the natural growth and development of the smile.

Drs. Insoft and Hurst are your family orthodontists in St. Petersburg and Seminole! We’re here to guide you and your teen to make the best decision for their smile. 

Options in Teen Braces

Each of our teen patients has their own unique vibe, and we love that! We provide different teen orthodontic treatments to match:
  • Advanced Damon™ Braces
  • Damon™ Clear Braces
  • Invisalign® for teens
  • Traditional metal braces

Does my teen need braces or Invisalign?

There are a few indicators that your teens needs braces or Invisalign. If you recognize any of these signs, book a complimentary consultation!

  • 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

What is the cost of braces for teens?

The cost of your teen’s braces treatment will depend on a number of factors, including the length of their treatment plan, the complexity of their condition, your insurance coverage, and whether any orthodontic appliances are needed. 

Once we determine the cost of their treatment, we’ll create a custom financing plan with monthly braces payments that fit your budget.

If you have insurance, we’ll do all of the paperwork to help you get the maximum benefit from your plan.

Then, you’ll be able to choose from 0% interest in-house financing (no credit check) or CareCredit financing for plans up to 60 months!
