It makes it very easy with contact sports because a cheap pharmacy mouthguard will fit much easier than with braces. Many of our patients who fit the profile are choosing this option now. You just need to be the diligent type of person who will always wear their trays.

Ceramic brackets are always a great option for teens wanting to have braces because they are just so transparent and much better to look at. If braces are the required treatment, why would you put metal brackets on the teeth.

Veneers, especially porcelain are contra indicated for teens due to the need to remove tooth structure. Filling material veneers are the best for teens because you just need to add to the tooth rather than permanently changing the tooth. In our practice we recommend porcelain veneers after our patients turn 18, as the mouth and gums start to settle into adult hood.

Great article exploring some of those options. Keep it up.
