Braces & Aligners for Teens

At JT Orthodontics, we encourage Early Orthodontic Intervention for kids as young as 7, but it is never too late to correct misalignment or spacing issues. For teens, we have many treatment options that will fit their specific needs. We also know how important it is for teens to keep their confidence – which is why we offer options such as Invisalign® First and Clear Braces to help them get a beautiful smile without taking a hit to their self-esteem.

Types of Braces for Teens

Dr. Teng recommends traditional metal braces for kids and teens. Traditional braces offer correction for mild to severe misalignment issues and help correct stubborn cross-bites. This isn’t the only option, however. During your teen’s initial consultation and exam, Dr. Teng may recommend other alternatives to meet the specific needs of their teeth. Because no patient is the same – we are proud to offer these options:

Invisalign® for Teens

Our team at JT Orthodontics believes that braces should offer more than just straight teeth. Braces should also be about boosting confidence and creating a smile that shines bright. Our custom Invisalign® treatment plans empower teenagers to achieve their dream smile discreetly and comfortably. With virtually invisible aligners, teens can confidently navigate their daily lives without feeling self-conscious about their orthodontic treatment. From school to sports, Invisalign seamlessly fits into their lifestyle, allowing them to showcase their unique personality while working towards a beautiful, confident smile they’ll love for a lifetime.

Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment

Between the ages of 11 and 15 is the most common time for orthodontic treatment, and for good reasons. By 12, most if not all of the permanent teeth have erupted and are in place, and crooked teeth, gaps and bad bites can easily be detected.

Patients Love Us!


Can’t thank Dr. Teng and his entire staff enough for the care and results I received! I originally went to another orthodontist who recommended jaw surgery for my slightly receded jaw and bite issues. Not fully comfortable with such an invasive route, I decided to get a second opinion—and I’m so glad I did.

Dr. Teng took the time to really assess my case and offered a non-invasive treatment plan that ended up working beautifully. Not only did he correct my bite, but he also helped improve the alignment of my jaw—all without surgery. The process was smooth, the results exceeded my expectations, and every appointment was met with kindness, professionalism, and patience from the entire team.

If you’re looking for an orthodontist who genuinely cares about their patients and goes the extra mile to find solutions that fit your needs, Dr. Teng is the one. I’m so grateful I found him!

Update: Grateful for the turnaround in care

I originally left a review expressing disappointment with my experience, particularly around communication and the outcome of my treatment. However, after a recent visit, I feel it’s important to update my review to reflect the positive changes.

At my latest appointment, the team took my concerns seriously, addressed every issue I raised, and made real efforts to fix the problems. They also offered a sincere apology and took full accountability for what had gone wrong previously—which I really appreciated.

My smile is now back on track, and I’m genuinely happy with the results I’m seeing. I’m grateful they took the time to listen and act on feedback. It made a big difference and changed my overall perspective on the care they provide.

Today was the day for my braces removal. Eliana helped me again and as always she makes the process fun and explains everything to me so I know what to expect.

We are extremely happy with the results of my son's braces treatment at JT Orthodontics. From start to finish, the service was great. The entire staff was always friendly, and we were consistently seen in a timely manner. Dr. Teng took the time to explain every step of the process thoroughly, ensuring that we were always informed. We couldn't be more pleased with the outcome and highly recommend Dr. Teng and his entire team for their professionalism and care!
