LightForce

LightForce clear braces for teens in Hopkins

At Mint Orthodontics near Hopkins, we are proud to offer our patients LightForce clear braces. These clear braces use cutting-edge technology to provide a more comfortable and efficient treatment experience on the way to your new smile. Thanks to their innovative design, LightForce braces put less pressure on the teeth and gums, making them an ideal choice for those with sensitive mouths.

In addition, the brackets are smaller and smoother than traditional metal braces, making them much less noticeable. And because they are made from a clear material, they are nearly invisible when worn.

If you are looking for a high-quality option that is both comfortable and discreet, LightForce clear braces may be right for you.

Are LightForce clear braces more expensive than metal braces?

Not in our office! Mint Orthodontics offers Hopkins this advanced, customized teeth straightening solution at the SAME PRICE as metal braces.

Invisalign Treatment for Teens in Hopkins

Parents can feel good about letting a teen decide if they will straighten their teeth with clear braces or clear aligners. Invisalign clear aligners have enabled teen patients to stop wearing traditional metal braces because straightening teeth is just as effective with Invisalign. Clear aligners are great for both straightening teeth and fixing bite issues.

Invisalign clear aligners gives teenagers more freedom while straightening their teeth. They can eat whatever they want, play sports or an instrument without concern, and straighten their teeth discreetly with clear aligners. We also find that Hopkins teens get a boost of self esteem as they improve their unique smile.

Align Technology, Inc. has been making and perfecting Invisalign treatment for over 20 years. Even though clear aligners are not a new technology, Align has constantly improved treatment experience using innovations such as Smart Track Material in its clear aligners. This makes treatment faster and more comfortable than metal brackets.

Invisalign Teen Guarantee

Some Hopkins parents have expressed concern that their teen might not be responsible enough to wear clear aligners to straighten their teeth. They have messy rooms, might forget to do their homework…

Our team has found that if a teen decides they really want to wear aligners, they are typically great at it and we don’t have any trouble with treatment. But, in the rare case that your teen’s motivation wanes, our team is prepared.

If your teen’s smile isn’t progressing the way it should because of their compliance to wear the aligners, we will switch them over to braces – at no extra cost to you.

Our team is trained to steer teenagers toward the treatment options that will best suit them – physically and emotionally. So there’s no need to worry. We want your teeth straightening experience to be just as great as your teen’s.

How long does Invisalign treatment take?

It depends – your teen’s smile is unique! But for most, the VPro™ device used to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement cuts a teen’s Invisalign or clear braces treatment time by about half. Generally speaking, the duration varies depending on the severity of dental misalignment.

The Invisalign aligners need to be worn at least twice every 24 hours, without exception. If your teen does not wear the trays for the recommended hours a day it might lead to longer treatment times.

Before a teenager begins their teeth straightening journey with Invisalign Teen, Dr. Sudit will advise them in the consultation on how long it should take to straighten their teeth.

But What About Traditional Braces?

Metal braces are so last century! There has been so much advancement in both braces and Invisalign treatment that metal braces are simply still used because they are inexpensive.

However, at Mint Orthodontics, we charge the same for our advanced treatments as metal braces. Why? Because we only use advanced, digital treatment options that make us so efficient, we are able to offer them at the SAME PRICE as metal braces.
