The teen years are busy enough—between school, sports, and social life—so adding orthodontics for teens shouldn’t feel overwhelming. At Lustig & Young Orthodontics, we specialize in orthodontics for teens, offering braces and Invisalign® designed to fit your teen’s busy lifestyle.
With offices in Fort Worth, Saginaw, Haslet, and Azle, TX, our experienced orthodontic team provides expert care for teens using both braces and Invisalign® clear aligners. Whether your teen wants a classic look or a more discreet option, we’re here to make sure their smile transformation fits their lifestyle.
Parents often wonder, “When’s the right time for my teen to start orthodontic treatment?”
The truth is, the teenage years are one of the best times to straighten teeth. By this age, most permanent teeth have come in, and the jaw is still developing—making it easier and faster to guide teeth into proper alignment.
Early or timely treatment can prevent more serious dental problems down the road, including bite misalignment, crowding, and uneven wear. Plus, a straight smile is easier to clean, which helps prevent cavities and gum disease.
And of course, there’s the confidence factor. Teens who feel great about their smiles often carry that confidence into school, sports, and social situations.
At Lustig & Young Orthodontics, orthodontics for teens is all about comfort, confidence, and results. Braces have come a long way from the bulky metal versions of the past. Today’s braces are smaller, smoother, and more comfortable than ever—and they’re still one of the most effective ways to achieve a beautifully straight smile.
At Lustig & Young Orthodontics, we offer both traditional metal braces and clear ceramic braces, so your teen can choose the option that fits their personality and preferences.
Teens love being able to change the color of their bands at each visit, while parents love the predictable, consistent results braces provide.
Our orthodontists make each visit fast, comfortable, and informative. From regular adjustments to tips on keeping braces clean, we’re here to make treatment a positive part of your teen’s routine.
For teens who want to straighten their teeth without the look of braces, Invisalign® Teen is a great alternative. These clear, removable aligners gently shift teeth into place—without wires, brackets, or dietary restrictions.
Invisalign is perfect for active teens who play sports, perform in band, or just prefer a low-profile option. Since the aligners are removable, your teen can continue to eat their favorite foods, brush and floss easily, and smile confidently throughout treatment.
Our orthodontists use advanced 3D imaging technology to plan each step of your teen’s treatment. You’ll even get to preview what their new smile will look like before they start!
No two smiles are alike—and neither are our treatment plans. At Lustig & Young Orthodontics, we take time to get to know your teen’s needs, goals, and lifestyle.
During the consultation, we’ll evaluate their jaw growth, bite alignment, and tooth development to design a treatment plan tailored to their unique smile.
We also focus on clear communication. Teens and parents are encouraged to ask questions, stay involved, and track progress at every stage. Our goal is to make sure everyone feels confident and supported throughout the process.
