Find Out How Our Orthodontics Fits Your Teen's Life
Clear aligners give your teen a path to a confident smile and a healthier mouth. Plus, the orthodontic treatment fits into their everyday routine. Using digital scanning technology, Dr. Lee maps out your teen's teeth and bite. We gain a clear picture before any treatment begins. From there, your teen gets fitted with clear aligners through options such as Invisalign® or ClearCorrect. We make starting teen orthodontics in Houston as easy as possible.
Removable for Meals
Your teen can take their aligners out to eat. There's no need to avoid favorite foods or worry about anything getting stuck. This also makes brushing and flossing easier.

Clear aligners are nearly invisible. Your teen can go through treatment without feeling self-conscious in photos or at school. It's easy for them to stay confident during the process.

Clear aligner treatment often moves faster than traditional braces. Your teen sees progress in stages, with a clear sense of how much time is left.

Once your teen finishes treatment, we provide retainers to hold their teeth in place. Replacements are available for added peace of mind that a mishap won't set your teen back.
Frequently Asked Questions About Teen Orthodontics
At what age should my teen start orthodontic treatment?
Your teen can typically start orthodontic treatment once most of their permanent teeth have come in. This often happens around ages 12 to 14. Your dentist examines their bite and development to confirm the right timing. Starting at the right stage helps treatment move more efficiently. Your dentist can tell you exactly where your teen stands at their next visit.
How do you determine which clear aligner option is right for my teen?
How long does teen orthodontic treatment usually take?
Will my teen need to change their eating habits with clear aligners?
Your teen won't need to change their eating habits with clear aligners, since they simply remove them before meals. This means no food restrictions. Your dentist will just ask that your teen brushes before putting the aligners back in. This is an advantage over traditional braces. Your teen's treatment fits into their normal routine.
How does my teen's oral health benefit from straighter teeth?
Straighter teeth make it easier for your teen to clean between them, which lowers their risk for cavities and gum disease. A properly aligned bite can also ease strain on the jaw over time. Your dentist can point out specific areas that will benefit most once treatment is complete. You're supporting your teen's long-term health, not just their smile's appearance.
