Orthodontics forTeens

Teen orthodontic treatment in Grand Rapids & Grandville, MI. Braces, ceramic braces, and Invisalign® options tailored to every teen.

Overview

At Armbrecht & Wierenga Orthodontics, we know that every teen is different — and the same goes for every teen's smile. When it's time for orthodontic treatment, our job is to find the approach that delivers the most functional, best-looking, and most efficient result for that individual patient. There's no one-size-fits-all here.

We'll Meet You Where You Are

If your teen had Phase 1 treatment with us as a junior, we may find there's minimal remaining work left to polish off their perfect smile. If this is their first visit, don't worry — it's never too late. Whether we're starting fresh or building on earlier treatment, we have the tools and experience to get the job done beautifully.

A confident smile through the teenage years

Teen Treatment Options

Our orthodontists will conduct a thorough oral examination before any treatment path is chosen. Based on that evaluation, we'll recommend the option that best fits your teen's needs — and their preferences.

  • 01

    Conventional Metal Braces

    The tried-and-trusted classic. Metal brackets and wires are highly effective at correcting crowding, spacing, and a wide range of bite issues. A great choice for teens with more complex cases.

  • 02

    Clear Ceramic Braces

    For teens who want reliable results with a lower-profile look, ceramic braces use tooth-colored brackets and discreet wire colors that blend beautifully with natural enamel. We use the latest cosmetic brackets from American Orthodontics.

  • 03

    Invisalign®

    Thin, clear aligners designed to be worn over the top and bottom teeth. Each personalized set of trays is changed every few weeks, gradually moving teeth without wires, elastics, or brackets. A popular choice for teens who participate in sports, play instruments, or simply want a more discreet treatment experience.
